== Abbreviations for Hawaii-Aleutian time zones are wrong ==
The page on [[Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone]] was changed recently to have the abbreviations HAST/HADT in the infobox, which are incorrect. The infoxbox references this module. The correct abbreviations are HST/HDT, but the reason why it was changed is because this module

{{edit template-protected|Module:Time|answered=yes}}
I've made some edits to the sandbox ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ComparePages&page1=Module:Time&page2=Module:Time/sandbox&diffmode=source diff]) and data/sandbox ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ComparePages&page1=Module:Time/data&page2=Module:Time/data/sandbox&diffmode=source diff]). These edits add support for DST timezone such as EST and other names that timezone are known as (the list is small right now) such as ET. It also adds more support for UTC offsets so +5, -5 ,+05, -05:30, -5.5 all work with it. A test page can be seen at [[User:BrandonXLF/sandbox/5]]. – [[User:BrandonXLF|<span style="color:#0011ff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 0.15em 0.15em 0.15em #db3a00;'>'''BrandonXLF'''</span>]] [[User talk:BrandonXLF|<span style="color:blue;"><sup>'''(t@lk)'''</sup></span>]] 02:33, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

:::Ah, yes that would also work. {{tl|Timestamp}} is much more convenient and intuitively named, though. <b>~</b> <span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:16px;">[[User:Tom.Reding|Tom.Reding]] ([[User talk:Tom.Reding|talk]] ⋅[[WP:DGAF|dgaf]])</span> 16:17, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
== How to revert time section? ==
Hi, I want to revert from like July 26th, 2019 (7/26/2019) to 26 July 2019 (26/7/2019) to suitable to my wiki which is Vietnamese Wikipedia (26 tháng 7 năm 2019). Is there anyway to do that on Module? I have created one on my Wiki with same name. [[User:Phjtieudoc|<strong style="font-size:small; color:#01A6E1"><var>phjtieudoc </var></strong>]] ([[User talk:Phjtieudoc|<em style="font-size:small; color:#FF3F1A">Talk</em>]]) 04:25, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
:P.S: Please Ping me because I don't active much on English Wikipedia. Thanks! [[User:Phjtieudoc|<strong style="font-size:small; color:#01A6E1"><var>phjtieudoc </var></strong>]] ([[User talk:Phjtieudoc|<em style="font-size:small; color:#FF3F1A">Talk</em>]]) 04:26, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

:@[[User:Phjtieudoc|Phjtieudoc]]: I don't completely understand your question. [[:vi:Template:Time]] does not use [[:vi:Module:Time]]. :vi:Module:Time uses [[:vi:Module:Time/data]] which is missing (the en.wiki module is [[Module:Time/data|here]]).
:
:{{tlx|time}} uses [[:mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##time]] to format time/date output. Module:Time uses a table in Module:Time/data (<code>cfg['format']</code>) to hold format strings for the <code>#time:</code> parser function. You can edit the format strings in that table to modify how date and time are rendered. The default format is <code>mdy</code> (<code>cfg['default_df']</code>) so the simple <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Time|time}}</nowiki></code> should produce something like this:
::{{time|lang=vi}}
:Does this help?

::{{ping|Trappist the monk}}. Wow. It help me a lot, but is there anyway to add the word "năm" after month, like (26 tháng 7 "năm" 2019). Thanks!

::::@[[User:Phjtieudoc|Phjtieudoc]]: Because [[Module:Time]] uses [[:mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##time]], you can insert quoted text in the format string:
:::::<code><nowiki>{{time |df-cust=H:i, j F "năm" Y |lang=vi}}</nowiki></code> → {{time |df-cust=H:i, j F "năm" Y |lang=vi}}

:Is there a reason why HADT is not an alias of HDT as HAST is an alias of HST? Should it be? Should HAST be dropped from the aliases table?
