Module:Active hours

Purpose

To inform other users if there is reason to believe you are not active at the moment, as based on your local time and a period of active hours you can specify in the module call.

Usage

{{User:Utfor/Active hours|timezone|beginningofactivehours|endofactivehours|{{CURRENTHOUR}}}}

Examples

Suppose the following:

• timezone = UTC+1
• beginning of active hours = 16 (16:00 Central European Time)
• end of active hours = 22 (22:00 Central European Time)
• {{CURRENTHOUR}}

This would be entered as the following: {{User:Utfor/Active hours|1|16|22|{{CURRENTHOUR}}}}

And would return: User:Utfor/Active hours

You may want to include a {{purge}} link as well.

Output

One of the following:

• This user is not necessarily unlikely to be active at the moment
• This user is unlikely to be active at the moment
