Template:CURRENTSECOND
04
Template documentationThis template extracts the current integer second on two digits (between 00 and 59) from the current UTC time (as set on the Wikimedia server). The shown value should match the rightmost two digits of 20250522134504.
- 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.

 | 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". |
