::::::::{{ping|User:Trappist the monk}}Ok, I removed IST and BST from the list, if you think it still has no use let me know and I'll remove it. Personally I think some people would find it useful, but you're the person making the edit in the end. As I said I'll gladly remove it if that's what you want. Also, please {{tlx|ping}} me when replying. Thanks, – [[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>]] 22:52, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
::::::::{{ping|User:Trappist the monk}}'''Note''': The DST time zones output DST time even when it's not DST, because they are DST time zones and such always should output DST. – [[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>]] 22:54, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
:::::::::{{tq|The DST time zones output DST time even when it's not DST}}. Yes, that is what your code does, and I think that it is nonsensical because dst implies that it has been switched from and will switch back to standard time (without researching it, I suspect that this is probably why Saskatchewan, which used to be in mst/mdt, is now considered to be in cst year round).

:::::::::I can imagine supporting dst timezone abbreviations as aliases of standard timezone abbreviations (as long as the dst abbreviation doesn't conflict with an existing standard timezone abbreviation) which would cause the template's output to be rendered exactly the same for regardless of which abbreviation (dst or standard) is used.
