[16:41:19] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> How does CURRENTTIME work? The URL above doesn't give a lot of details.
[16:41:52] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <urbanecm> It...provides the current time (as of parsing)
[16:41:53] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> Does it show the same thing to all users? Or does it show the time according to the user timezone preference?
[16:42:27] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <urbanecm> it shows the same thing, it's not dynamic
[16:42:51] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <lucaswerkmeister> I would guess it shows the current time, as of the last time the page was parsed (so you’d purge it with action=purge), in the wiki timezone (the one used for history/recentchanges IIUC)
[16:43:00] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <urbanecm> CURRENTTIME uses always UTC, LOCALTIME would use whatever the wiki preference is
[16:43:05] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <lucaswerkmeister> ah okay
[16:43:36] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <lucaswerkmeister> oh yeah, it says so at the top of the “date and time” section (above the table)
[16:44:48] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <urbanecm> see https://w.wiki/$dh for an example. cswiki's wiki preference is Europe/Prague, so LOCALTIME shows time in Prague, while CURRENTTIME uses UTC
[16:45:10] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <urbanecm> @amire80 does this help?
[16:46:31] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <urbanecm> (it's similar for other time-related function, ie. #time parser function is in UTC, #ltime is wiki-specific)
[16:46:46] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <amire80> Aha, makes sense. Thanks!
[16:46:55] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <jhsoby> isn't it #timel ? (re @urbanecm: (it's similar for other time-related function, ie. #time parser function is in UTC, #ltime is wiki-specific))
[16:47:01] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <urbanecm> right, it is
[16:47:15] <wm-bb>	 [telegram] <urbanecm> (sorry, writing from top of my head)
