- Syntax:
- {{CURRENTSECOND}}
- Use {{subst:CURRENTSECOND}} to substitute the current second.
- Formula:
- {{#expr:s}}
- {{subst:CURRENTSECOND}} copies this code ready for optional substitution into another template.
- Warning:
- Pages asking for the current second often also need other parts of
{{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}= 20260612003729, and different "current" templates and variables can reflect different timestamps near hh:mm:59. - See also:
- [] all subsections that follow:
 | This template does not put a working clock on your page. The clock will not update the time on your screen every minute. Instead, it records the date and time that the page was most recently edited or purged. If you want a clock that constantly updates, then go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets and enable the Appearance item, "Add a clock to the personal toolbar that displays the current time in UTC and provides a link to purge the current page". |
