Besides, the fact that I'm an American pushing for GMT should dispel any of that notion. If I wanted to make that accusation I'd point to the spelling guides, not this. REDIRECT User:Cqm/Signature 15:06, Ap(UTC).Less chance anyone tries to accuse us of only catering to Brits. Ansela Jonla 20:24, Ap(UTC) UTC (Co-ordinated Universal Time) sounds better to me. 2) Some people don't know the difference between GMT and BST I had to educate someone in the chat about it just yesterday. 1) It's labelled at UTC in the GlobalNavigation bar. Liquid Talk 20:22, Ap(UTC)Ģ reasons why not. J O E Y T J E 5 0 T A L K pull my finger 20:02, Ap(UTC) Ryan PM 15:09, Ap(UTC)Ĭomment - There is now Template:Time for notifying people of our use of the UTC timezone on their talk page. I don't understand why people try to put things in BST when UTC is how the events are determined most of the time. I mean, everyone can see the displayTimer in the GlobalNavigation bar that is always updating as UTC. Support - I find it easier to go by UTC since the servers never change on both Wikia and on any of the RuneScape servers than Central Time in the USA. Less confusing, more common, and " looks better". Hofmic Talk 14:32, Ap(UTC)Īnd call it UTC. It's already the defacto standard, we just need to make it official. Support - As an American knowing there is more than one time zone. Support - UTC should be the only time used unless it is intended to be used in only 1 specific timezone, which should really only be for player run events, as on that page people kept adding in EST as well Template:Signatures/Ciphrius Kane 12:48, Ap(UTC) User:Urbancowgurl777/Signature 12:30, Ap(UTC) If "Americans" thought that, this proposal wouldn't change anything. Support - As someone who is sick of Americans assuming there is only one time zone, and that England uses that time zone, I support. Support -As annoying as it is for me to convert, least we'll have some sort of uniform time. User:Urbancowgurl777/Signature 12:03, Ap(UTC) We should just go with that, it's logical. After Jagex came up with the new forums/website layout, they changed all their times to UTC thankfully. After running events in clans for several years. Neitiznot ▸ Choose Option My userpage Talk to me! Spam goes here Sign here! 11:17, Ap(UTC) Support - as it is the timezone Jagex and this wiki runs on and it also is the international standard. Support - as proposer Ansela Jonla 11:14, Ap(UTC) This will probably not stop the IPs from changing it to BST (or BST incorrectly labelled as GMT), or whatever time zone they prefer, but it will give regular editors a reason to point them to when they revert. The time zone used to indicate event start and end times in game should be UTC, as this is a constant time zone that does not need to be adjusted for daylight savings time, as well as the one that this wiki uses and the one that Jagex servers run on.
I am proposing a new addition to the style guide concerning this situation. There is currently no policy covering this, which makes it hard to justify reverts back to the UTC times currently displayed on the article. The recent 2012 Easter event has shown that there is some disagreement over what time zone should be used in articles to show start times of events.
