Because almost all Bloons media to date has been released worldwide at specific times rather than region-specific dates, this wiki prefers to use timestamps over dates when such information is available. That way, it's easier to tell what day something released in your time zone instead of leaving it ambiguous.
How to format dates and timestamps
Copy the timestamp and place it inside {{date}} if it is a date, or {{timestamp}} if it is a timestamp. Both dates and timestamps will be formatted in DD/MM/YYYY, and the timestamp template displays the date in UTC and the timestamp when hovered over (or tapped on when using the mobile view). The templates will work with a number of formats and notations.

How to find timestamps
- Steam: Look the game up on SteamDB. Note that the release date shown on the game's main page is for the initial release and does not list release dates for platforms that gained support post-release (for example, macOS support for Bloons TD 6).
- Google Play: Using Inspect Element on the game's page, search for scripts that start with
AF_initDataCallback. One of them will have an array that looks like["Aug 28, 2018",[1535459641,183000000]]— the number in the middle is the timestamp and can be formatted as{{timestamp|@1535459641}}(28 August 2018).
