Template talk:FormatTime

Usage

Single Time

{{FormatTime|hour|minute}}

Time Range

{{FormatTime|start hour|start minute|end hour|end minute}}

• Hours must be in 24-hour format (0–24)
• Minutes do not require two digits (05, 15, 30, etc.), but it generally makes the code clearer

Preference

Any particular reason why this template utilizes "a.m." & "p.m." rather than "AM" and "PM" or similiar? Wikipedia preferences or just creator whim? Just curious. JPG-GR 01:07, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
