Re: [Wikitech-l] Tool to "convert" timezones for international online events
That's very cool! I've enabled it.
Maybe it could also look for elements as well,
which is what the {{event}} template
outputs.
Talking of events and timezones, I recently made a little TZ comparison
tool: https://meetingtimes.toolforge.org/ — it's got lots of rough edges
at the moment, but sort of works.

Hello again, In the given timeframe no objection has been made, so as of today Martin joins the main committee and Jay joins the aux members. Join me in thanking the work of Lucie, Tpt and Rosalie and welcome Martin and Jay to the team. I had the pleasure of working with Lucie in the past couple of years and her work was invaluable in solving complex issues while it hasn't been public and barely anyone knows her contributions.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Tool to "convert" timezones for international online events
Thanks a lot for working on this! \o/ I'll definitely use it for the next international conference I'm involved in (Celtic Knot Conference, for which I'm drafting the schedule right now). I think it would be really useful to have it as a gadget, as I don't really imagine asking our non-Wikimedians participants to "copy paste this piece of code on your common.js".

[Wikitech-l] Tool to "convert" timezones for international online events
Hi, due to the global health crisis we nowadays have more online events. This allows for people around the globe to participate but also means easier handling different timezones is more important. Since Wikimedians love to organize and schedule their events onwiki, often on Meta-Wiki, I wrote a tiny userscript and template that allows organizers to set up the conference program with UTC times and users can see them in their local timezone and local date format. It's of course also usable for all other kinds of pages. It works and is useable but so far still in my user namespace: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Michael_Sch%C3%B6nitzer_(WMDE)/timezoneconverter As the next step I would like to move it to the main namespace on meta and convert it to a gadget. (Later it could be copied to other Wikis, when needed.) Before that I wanted to ask for feedback. Is this something you would use? Is there anything esential missing, can you see any negative side effects, or would you like it to be renamed before people start using it? Looking forward to hearing from you.
