* These edits add a function which allows the module to output the UTC offset of a timezone. The output would be able to replace many templates and would allow [[Template:Infobox time zone]] to work more reliably. I've done testing to make sure both positive and negative UTC offsets work and function time still works [[User:BrandonXLF/sandbox2|here]]. — [[User:BrandonXLF|<span style="outline: 3px double blue;color:lightcyan;background-color:black;'>&nbsp;'''''BrandonXLF'''''&nbsp;</span>]]&nbsp;&nbsp;[[User talk:BrandonXLF|^(t@lk)]]&nbsp;<span style="color:black">^{([[Template:Ping|ping back]])}</span> 15:34, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
