For this:
 | Deadlines (UTC) Current time is 2025-05-10 08:18:05 () Deadline has started. (refresh) |
Utility template for {{Signpost/Deadline}}. Displays a horizontal "progress" bar representing the amount of time remaining in a time span, color-coded (green → yellow → red) to indicate how close it is to the end of the span.
The bar is overlaid with various pieces of information:
- an optional text label
- an offsite link to convert the displayed UTC time to local timezones
- and, if
|short=is not enabled:- the proximity to the end date expressed in number of days "left", or "ago" (for past dates)
- the percentage value of the time remaining
Parameters
|start=YYYY-MM-DD- The start of the span.
|end=YYYY-MM-DD HH:NN UTC- The end of the span. (Optional time values default to 00:00 UTC.)
|label=text- Optional text label to precede the
|end=date, when labeling the bar. |short=truthy value- If set, disables the days left/ago labeling and the percentage display.
|width=number or percentage- Optional CSS width for the bar, defaults to <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">100%</syntaxhighlight>. Values followed by a percent sign are interpreted as percentages, all others in pixel (<syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">px</syntaxhighlight>) units.
