The first parameter is for your time zone, in the format: UTC either by itself ({{User time zone|UTC}}
) or plus or minus a number, according to the time zone you wish to display. For example, in Seattle, Washington, USA, you would use minus eight, plus a form of the second (DST) parameter:
{{User time zone|UTC-8|DST=1N}}
The second parameter, specifying your location's observance of Daylight Saving Time (DST), is optional. Note that different locations have different starting and ending dates for DST. Available options are:
|DST=0
if you do not observe DST.|DST=1
if you do observe DST (very ambiguous as to when).|DST=1N
or|DST=1S
for DST in the Northern/Southern Hemisphere (slightly ambiguous as to when).|DST=from April to September
to specify the date range of DST.
