Template talk:Unsigned2

Purpose

{{Unsigned2}} Used to label unsigned comments in a discussion, in particular when cutting and pasting the username and date from a page history. This template is like {{Unsigned}}, reversing the arguments and appending (UTC) to the time.

Usage

{{Unsigned2|date|username}}

date: datestamp, found by converting the local date and time in the edit history to UTC
username: name or IP of user who left comment

Unfortunately the template itself is not capable of converting the time. If you frequently use this template, or otherwise refer to UTC, you could consider setting your local time in the preferences to UTC.

Example

With the preferences set at UTC-7, the history entry for the creation of this talk page shows
