Functions/Features

Accepts date and time values in various formats, however standard ISO or Unix notations are the less error prone.

Parameters

Parameter Name	Parameter Description	req./opt.
{{{1}}}	avalid timestamp YYYYMMDD	Required

Known Issues

The time value needs to be adjusted inside the template for the server's timezone offset including DST. Unfortunately this can't be fixed using LocalSettings or user preferences which only provide "display formats", i.e. to adjust the offset for "Europe/Berlin" use "+0 days +2 hours +0 minutes" ~ GMT+1 + 1h DST.

Always use the preview! Garbage in, garbage out: make sure the timestamp is correct or the #time function will fail.
