Template:Timestamp
Appearance
20241220045445
{{Timestamp}} is the template equivalent for the magic word (also known as variable) {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}
. The template invokes this variable when called. Due to MediaWiki and browser caching, these variables frequently show when the page was cached rather than the current time.
Alternative: To generate a formatted date stamp with the current date and time, use five tildes (~~~~~
) to output: 04:54, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
. In some templates, five tildes is the preferred way to add the date.
