User blog:3primetime3/Adding World Clock to Mediawiki:Common.js
Hello everyone!
I see that user:Wildoneshelper from CCSW has implemented the World Clock feature on the wiki about a year ago so users can see what time it is on Wikia Community Central (UTC time).
The following is the code that should be copied and pasted on to Mediawiki:Common.js if it will be implemented. (It is much easier to click on "Edit this Blog post" and take the source that way for Admins). What do you guys think? Is this a good idea?
- Note: In order to be able to vote on mainspace related voting threads, you need at least 25 mainspace edits and you must have been on the wiki for two weeks. For any other topic, you must have been on the wiki for four weeks. If you do not follow these rules your vote will be disqualified. If you do it repeatedly, you will be given a forum warning. Thank you.
- To show your stance, please type {{Support|reason}}, {{Neutral|reason}}, or {{Oppose|reason}}. The reason must be stated behind the | in order to not be disqualified.
See the following wiki for an example of the world clock. It is located at the very top of any page. www.candy-crush-saga.wikia.com
