Template:Scheduled Show
Use this template to show different content depending on the time and date. The content can be a just single sentence, other templates, an entire section, or even an entire page![1] This template uses Japan Standard Time (JST), which is GMT+9.
- ↑ Your mileage may vary. Having multiple tables within the same parameter is known to cause issues. In general, please be mindful when trying to encapsulate large amounts of content in one template.
Usage[edit]
{{Scheduled Show|date/time object|A|B}}
- date/time object: Any date/time object accepted by MediaWiki's time function.
- A: Optional. The content you wish to show before the given time
- B: Optional. The content you wish to show during and after the given time.

Considerations[edit]
Because the MediaWiki software uses extensive caching, your scheduled content will not update immediately upon reaching the scheduled time. If you're impatient, use Special:Purge on the target page to flush the server's cache and force the page to update.
