Blooncyclopedia:Dates and timestamps

Revision as of 04:20, 9 June 2024 by Polavux (talk | contribs)

Because almost all Bloons media to date has been released worldwide at specific timestamps rather than region-specific dates, this wiki uses timestamps for all releases, updates, and events when available and displays them in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

How to format timestamps

Copy the timestamp and place it inside {{timestamp}}. This template displays the date in UTC and the timestamp when hovered over (or tapped on when using the mobile view). The template will work with a number of timestamp formats.

When a timestamp can't be found

If a date is given by an official source, but not a timestamp, the {{date}} parameter should be used instead. This formats the date in the same notation, but does not display a timestamp when hovered over or tapped, and appends a "timestamp needed" indicator. This template also works with many formats.
