This template displays the current time & date in 12-hour format.

  • The default time zone is UTC. This can be changed by setting an offset. For an interger number of hours use parameter 1. Otherwise use offset
    • The current UTC time is 6:55 pm on 19 December 2025 (use {{12-hour time}})
    • The current time in city Saskatoon is 11:55 am on 19 December 2025 (use {{12-hour time|-7}})
    • The current time in Darwin is 4:25 am on 20 December 2025 (use {{12-hour time|offset=9 hours 30 min}} not {{12-hour time|9.5}})
  • The default date format is day month year. For month day year use {{12-hour time|format=mdy}}, for example
    • 6:55 pm on December 19, 2025
  • The default is not to show seconds or the day of the week. To display these use {{12-hour time|sec=on}} and/or {{12-hour time|dow=on}} respectively, for example
    • 6:55:26 pm on 19 December 2025
    • 6:55 pm on Friday 19 December 2025
    • 6:55:26 pm on Friday 19 December 2025
  • The default is not to abbreviate the names of the day or month. To abbreviate use {{12-hour time|abbr=on}}, for example
    • 6:55 pm on 19 Dec 2025
    • 6:55 pm on Fri 19 Dec 2025
  • The default is to put "on" between the time and date. To use something else use {{12-hour time|=something else}}, for example,
    • 6:55 pm (UTC) on 19 December 2025
