{{edit template-protected|Module:Time|answered=noyes}}
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)
:where is the need for the module to support dst timezone abbreviations as primary inputs? where is the need to display dst time during non-dst periods (edt in January)? where is the need for all of these variations on the utc offset theme? doesn't work for bst and ist because these abbreviations are already in use – i didn't check the rest.

{{ping|User:Trappist the monk}} I made the DST offset aliases, I added more aliases, I made it so you can set dst=always for it to always be DST (takes very little code) and I removed all code that you said needed to be removed? Is it good now, I'm always happy to add suggestions. I also added HST as a seprate timezone as per [[#Abbreviations for Hawaii-Aleutian time zones are wrong]] and my own research. – [[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>]] 20:32, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
As a lot has changed I made a new request – [[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>]] 01:02, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

{{edit template-protected|Module:Time|answered=no}}
({{ping|User:Trappist the monk}}) A update to [[#Template-protected edit request on 3 September 2018]], Replace the contents of [[Module:time]] with [[Module:time/sandbox]] ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ComparePages&page1=Module:Time&page2=Module:Time/sandbox&diffmode=source diff]) and the contents of [[Module:time/data]] with [[Module:time/data/sandbox]] ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ComparePages&page1=Module:Time/data&page2=Module:Time/data/sandbox&diffmode=source diff]). Examples of usage can be seen at [[User:BrandonXLF/sandbox/5]]. These edits add:<br>1) Aliases, extra abbreviations of timezones that allow for previous abbreviations that returned unknown to now return a timezone (including DST timezones)<br>2) More UTC offset support, allows for more support for UTC offsets (such as -5, +5 , +8:30 and -9.5)<br>3) HST as it's own timezone as per above [[#Abbreviations for Hawaii-Aleutian time zones are wrong]] and my own research. – [[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>]] 01:02, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
