This template is a partial self-reference because it uses an equation to calculate the date and time. However, this date and time is easily verifiable and so is part of the encyclopedic content.


If you wish for the reference to appear this template should be substituted onto pages it appears on.

The template makes a footnote reference stating: Calculated using Wikimedia Foundation Inc.. For more information see WP:CCT. To update time purge page cache.
