Template:CURRENTSECOND

38

Template documentation

This template extracts the current integer second on two digits (between 00 and 59) from the current UTC time. The shown value should match the rightmost two digits of 20260906193038.

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 Template:Evaldemo, and different "current" templates and variables can reflect different timestamps near hh:mm:59.
