![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Template:CURRENTMINUTE. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template extracts the current integer minute on two digits (between 00 and 59) from the current UTC time (as set on the Wikimedia server). The shown value should match the right hand side of 21:19.
This template can be substituted.
Contents
Syntax
- {{CURRENTMINUTE}}

- Warning:
- Pages asking for the current minute often also need other parts of
{{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}
= 20250402211904, and different "current" templates and variables can reflect different timestamps near hh:mm:59.

![]() | This template does not put a working clock on your page. The clock will not update the time on your screen every minute. Instead, it records the date and time that the page was most recently edited or purged. If you want a clock that constantly updates, then go to Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets and enable the Appearance item, "Add a clock to the personal toolbar that displays the current time in UTC and provides a link to purge the current page". |
