Notes

Please note the following important points before using this template.

The time on this countdown clock is GMT (UTC+0)

  • if the event is held in more than a year, the number of years and everything below will be shown
  • if the event is held in more than a week, the number of weeks and everything below will be shown
  • if the event is held in more than 24 hours, the number of days and everything below will be shown
  • if the event is held within 24 hours, the number of hours left and everything below will be shown
  • if the event is held within 1 hour, the number of minutes left and the number of seconds left will be shown
  • if the event is held within 1 minute, the number of seconds left will be shown

Duration is in seconds, so duration=3600 for a one-hour event. Alternatively, duration and duration unit=//unit// can be used in unison (e.g., duration=1|duration unit=year).

This template should not be used in articles per MOS:TIME and MOS:DATED.
