Update February 2011
I've updated the script to be fully compatible with Vector and 1.17 while still being compatible with Monobook and 1.16. It has been tested in the following set-ups: See also 74740. Krinkle 14:57, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Improvment of the clock gadget
This gadget and other clocks have the common problem of skipping some seconds : for example, the clock may display 11:20:35 just after 11:20:33 (skipping 11:20:34). It occurs because display function may be called at bad moment within the second (for the previous example at 11:20:33.995 then at 11:20:35.005).

I propose to improve the gadget by using the millisecond value to schedule next execution at hh:mm:ss.100 which give enough time (900ms) to execute the display function.

In the showTime function : --DavidL (talk) 11:04, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

 * The above screenshot image shows another difference between the 2 versions of the gadget: the modified one (on the right side, displaying local time UTC+0200) always display time about 1 second before the former one.
 * --DavidL (talk) 09:57, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
 * (Hexmode asked me to leave a message) You could also use a fixed delay of  instead of   or instead of  . That should also fix the problem. Using   might also be useful – though the benefit (no overhead from inactive tabs, and saving browser redraws by letting the browser pick the time) might not be worth the cost since it'd be a no-op most of the time (up to 60 frames a second). Both the suggestion here  and a fixed   will work fine I think. Krinkle (talk) 17:58, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Any fixed delay won't fix the problem. A variable delay is necessary to adjust time at each iteration according to client current CPU usage.
 * With a fixed delay of 900ms (your suggestion), you may have
 * (CPU is not busy):
 * 11:00:05.100
 * 11:00:06.000
 * 11:00:06.900
 * 11:00:07.800
 * (CPU is busy, script sleep for more than the specified 900ms):
 * 11:00:05.100
 * 11:00:06.001 (+1 ms)
 * 11:00:06.905 (+4 ms)
 * 11:00:07.811 (+6 ms)
 * -> 11:00:06 is displayed twice in both cases.
 * With a fixed delay of 1000ms (current version), you may have
 * (CPU is not busy):
 * 11:00:05.995
 * 11:00:06.995
 * 11:00:07.995
 * 11:00:08.995
 * (CPU is busy, script sleep for more than the specified 1000ms):
 * 11:00:05.995
 * 11:00:06.998 (+3 ms)
 * 11:00:08.001 (+3 ms)
 * 11:00:09.008 (+7 ms)
 * -> 11:00:07 is not displayed at all. Problem arise when CPU is a bit busy but also because displaying take a non-zero time which depends on client CPU speed.
 * With an adjusted time as I suggest, you may have
 * (CPU is not busy, script sleep for an adjusted delay):
 * 11:00:05.995 (sleep for 1100-ms = 105ms)
 * 11:00:06.100 (sleep for 1100-ms = 1000ms)
 * 11:00:07.100 (sleep for 1100-ms = 1000ms)
 * 11:00:08.100 (sleep for 1100-ms = 1000ms)
 * (CPU may be busy or not, script sleep for an adjusted delay):
 * 11:00:05.995 (sleep for 1100-ms = 105ms)
 * 11:00:06.109 (+9 ms) (sleep for 1100-ms = 991ms)
 * 11:00:07.111 (+11 ms) (sleep for 1100-ms = 989ms)
 * 11:00:08.105 (+5 ms)
 * -> The time is always displayed near the 100ms within the second. The timer have a maximum late delay of 899 ms to absorb CPU load effect.
 * --DavidL (talk) 13:35, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Your sample code shows that a fixed delay of 900ms clearly does work. It doesn't skip any seconds (granted that the thread doesn't block for more than a second, in which case it'll skip no matter what we do). It does result in the same value for the second indicator twice (you suggested this only happens with a busy CPU but it will happen without that too, the 900 increment will naturally at some point end up going from 900 instead of rolling over to the next second). But it won't skip any and it fixes the problem.
 * However, from a user experience point of view the 900 increment introduces a different problem, namely that it will routinely cause the second to appear to "freeze" for 1800ms and then naturally catch up again through the 100ms negative overlaps. The dynamically calculated increments are as good as it gets within the unreliable nature of  (short of going full-on with   and joining the available redraw frames if available and only updating if the second has changed).

causes unwanted log out clicks
I've been a longtime user of this gadget. One problem I've noticed many times is that the clock loads after the rest of the toolbar. This can causes the user to accidentally log out. Here's a typical scenario:


 * 1) editor visits Wikipedia
 * 2) page starts rendering
 * 3) editor quickly moves mouse to "Contributions" link and clicks on it
 * 4) editor realizes they forgot to let clock load
 * 5) finally load of clock, which pushes all the toolbar items to the left
 * 6) finally browser starts to process click, which is now over "Log out" instead of "Contribution".
 * 7) editor gets logged out.
 * 8) curses ensue

The speed of the computer plays an important role here but it can happen even on fast computers for reckless mouse clickers like me.

Is it technically feasible to have this gadget load before the toolbar items? Jason Quinn (talk) 23:12, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

New version, prevents menu from jumping
Hello all. I've drafted a new version of this gadget at User:Mr. Stradivarius/UTCLiveClock.js that, when coupled with the CSS in my common.css, prevents the clock from making the personal toolbar jump to the left when it loads. I've already copied the CSS to these files: All that needs to be done to deploy it on this wiki is to copy the JS over, and add the new CSS pages to MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition. For other wikis, the CSS files will need to be copied, and MediaWiki:Gadgets-definition updated as well.
 * MediaWiki:Gadget-UTCLiveClock.css - sets an explicit width for the clock; loaded as part of the clock gadget
 * MediaWiki:Gadget-UTCLiveClock-pagestyles.css - reserves whitespace for the clock; loaded as a CSS-only peer gadget

Getting rid of the jumping effect would be a huge plus in my opinion, but there are downsides too. Currently, you can change the location of the clock by adding a  object to your personal .js file, but this won't be possible with my new version. This is because we need to reserve space for the gadget using CSS only, and I can't think of a way to make this work if the location of the clock isn't guaranteed to be the same every time.

I made a search of all Wikimedia wikis using a script that I made, and I found three users who use UTCLiveClockConfig to change the location of the clock. David Levy, Gamren, and HarJIT: would it be OK to make the change? If you really want to have the clock in a non-default location, let me know - if I make some adjustments to the JavaScript, and if you load the script directly from your personal .js, it is possible.

Also, I would be grateful if people could review my code. If there's something I could do better - or something I've done wrong - then it would be better to find out now, rather than after the code has been deployed, as this gadget is widely used.

 * If all you've done with your JS is add those two  lines of code, it all looks good to me. Thanks for doing this, and finding the people who would be adversely affected.

 * I don't really care where the clock is, as long as its loading doesn't cause jumping.__Gamren (talk) 15:56, 28 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm not actually moving the clock as far as Wikimedia wikis are concerned (I'm placing it before a non-existent ID, which just appends it). I specify it because I import my Wikimedia MetaWiki global.js in my Wikia global.js, and Wikia's notifications code on their version of Monobook will fold the clock into the notification area (which breaks it) unless it is placed before rather than after the . But I'm loading the gadget with   specifying an , so that wouldn't be affected by the changes. So by all means, go ahead. -- HarJIT (talk) 18:11, 28 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you all for your feedback. I've gone ahead and rolled the gadget out here and at enwiki.

 * Okay, now it does reserve space, but a bit too much, so the clock skips right instead of left when loading.__Gamren (talk) 15:07, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, I had a lot of problems like this when adding the space-reserving code. The clock is just added as an item inside an unordered list, which means it can have a different size depending on how exactly the browser chooses to render it. To make the space-reserving code work I needed to change that into a specific width in em, rather than just letting the browser decide the space automatically, so it's very possible that it might not work 100% correctly on all browsers in both supported skins (Vector and Monobook). Could you tell me what skin you are using, and what browser? Best — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 00:13, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
 * hey, in ruwiki, we've done an analogous change back in February (we have an independent gadget). We use an invisible  pseudoelement with , then remove it in the script, instead of having fixed widths. We have no known issues, maybe you could use our idea. See w:ru:MediaWiki:Gadget-UTCLiveClock.js (the gadget itself), w:ru:MediaWiki:Gadget-UTCLiveClock-helperStyles.css (the peer gadget). Our gadget is also able to open the purged page in the new tab (when pressing Ctrl, which browsers use for opening new tabs). (We don't use addPortletLink for some reason; one of our admins, , replaced it with a direct node insertion with an  edit summary "compatability with the compact personal panel", maybe he could clarify.)

Time zones
Hi - is there any way to make the UTC live clock gadget work for certain time zones, not just UTC? Would be a handy addition for Wikimedia projects.

Move gadget to far left of the user tools (i.e. username or language setting)
I have opted-in the clock gadget in a few or several language projects. I haven't yet opted-in the gadget in many others because its position at the far right (not the other "far-right") after "Log out" button makes the gadget hazardous to use. Furthermore, I accidentally get logged out while the gadget loads (kinda slowly?) when I clicked or tapped "Log out". Time for the gadget to move to the far left of the tools, i.e. left of a username (or language setting if available). If that's not either feasible or suitable, then relocate the gadget somewhere far from the "Log out" button. –George Ho (talk) 21:26, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Incorporate these ideas into the main Wikipedia Info Box
I have made a proposal at the Town Pump to include the current local time next to the Time Zone listing in the Wiki InfoBox.

For example, Los Angeles, CA's InfoBox Time Zone listing would read: UTC-08:00 (17:22 8 June, 2021).

Hopefully the time can update dynamically through your UTCLiveClock.js.

Clock adds itself to dropdown in Vector modern, Timeless and Minerva Neue skins
As raised in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288607 this gadget adds itself to the dropdown menu of the new iteration of Vector, Timeless and Minerva.

This may or may not be desirable.

One way to fix this is to replace:

var node = mw.util.addPortletLink(		'p-personal',		mw.util.getUrl( null, { action: 'purge' } ),		 '' ,		'utcdate'	);

with

var node = mw.util.addPortletLink(		'p-personal-more',		mw.util.getUrl( null, { action: 'purge' } ),		 '' ,		'utcdate'	);

when $('#p-personal-more').length

 * I somehow tried to do this at euwiki and A) I did it wrongly and failed miserably or B) it didn't work. Old diff -Theklan (talk) 22:26, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I’d write it in a more compact way as  (I used the native , which is supported by any browser from the last 18 years, and is probably faster than jQuery). However, this still only works on Vector—Timeless calls it   instead of  , and Minerva doesn’t have a such dedicated place at all. By the way, I use Timeless on some wikis, and I actually like how the clock is hidden in the drop-down—I don’t use it as a clock anyway (I have one in my system tray, and that reliably shows the current time where I am, not UTC, not winter time at summertime etc.), I only use it to purge pages, but not that often that I’d want to waste space for it. Timeless’ huuuge search bar can be really useful at times. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 01:20, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Add tooltip with UTC date upon hover?
Sometimes it can be confusing if the UTC day is +1, 0, or -1 to your current local day. This is especially true if you are travelling or working somewhere that you don't know the UTC offset, or just plain too tired to think properly. I think adding a tooltip upon hover would be nice. Jason Quinn (talk) 17:33, 2 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Why would that be useful? As I wrote above, I don’t use the clock as a clock, but even if I did, I don’t think the UTC date would be that important. I recently added the tooltip “Purge this page” to the huwiki fork of this gadget, I think it’s more useful (especially if this gadget is enabled by default on some wiki). —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:27, 2 November 2021 (UTC)


 * It would have been useful just a moment ago. People were talking about a revert done in Thursday but it was late Friday for me. Just before midnight. Plus I'm very tired and I was blanking on which way to go for converting to UTC from my local time (which happens to be 12 hours off from EST). Sure it doesn't take but seconds to sort it out but it would of been handy to have. I'm not sure why we wouldn't want this tooltip. Jason Quinn (talk) 16:39, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

UTCLiveClock in Timeless
Could we change the position of clock in timeless skin to a place after "#personal" div object (just at the right side of your username in LTR system)? As it is not convenient to open the dropdown menu and click the clock link to purge the page, put it outside the dropdown menu would be a good idea.  Stang  19:06, 14 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Do you really use it that much? Poor servers, doing that many extra parses. What I love about Timeless is its clean interface. In contrast to what happened to new Vector, its header contains really just the most important links, the less frequently used links like the clock are hidden in the dropdown menu—they’re just one extra click away, but they don’t distract me 99% of the time, when I don’t need them. (New Vector also started with just a few large buttons, but then people complained about the watchlist, so that has also been added outside of the dropdown menu, people complained about the clock, so that got moved out of the dropdown menu, and now we have a personal toolbar that has much more icons than Timeless, which are much larger than the links on legacy Vector, a really unorganized worst compromise.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:50, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Clock should not be simply considered as a link - imagine there is a clock on the wall, compared to a watch inside a drawer and you have to open the drawer every time you want to know what time is it now. At least the style of UTCLiveClock in vector-2022 looks pretty fine to me.  Stang  13:40, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Then it looks like we use the gadget quite differently. For me the clock function is not important at all: I have a clock on my wall, I have a clock on my OS taskbar, I don’t need yet another clock. I use this gadget only to purge pages, which is quite rare. I’d propose splitting this gadget if it wasn’t practically nearly impossible to do so around all of Wikimedia… And for me, the personal toolbar is broken into two lines; one line would still not be ideal, but much better. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 23:31, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Is this time right?
Hey, whomever watches this page,

I have a clock in the upper right-hand corner that I think is this gadget that shows UTC time. But lately, I've noticed that it's slow, maybe by 10 or 20 seconds. It'll say, for example, 10:47:50 but the edit that was made has a time of 10:48. This seems to be a recent problem, in the past few weeks and I don't think it has anything to do with my computer. You might not think that a few seconds are important but there are some time-sensitive edits where it is. Anyone else notice this is occurring? Liz (talk) 01:59, 7 May 2022 (UTC)


 * There’s not more than half a second discrepancy for me (I tested it manually, so I can’t measure it more precisely). The gadget gets the current time from your browser, while the timestamp in the signature is from the server, so it’s very well possible that your computer got out of sync (since it works for me, it’s less likely that the server is the one that’s out of sync). First you should check if network/Internet time is enabled. If it is, it may be a hardware issue; for example, once I’ve had a then-10-year-old computer on which I had to set the time after each startup because it “forgot” it while it was turned off. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 19:31, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Add clock to p-personal-sticky-header
It appears that the truncating of the clock has been fixed. I did note that the clock does not currently appear in the "pinned" user menu that renders when you scroll down the page. See. Jonesey95 (talk) 01:59, 14 December 2022 (UTC)


 * The issue with it not showing in the pinned user menu requires a fix here. That would mean looking for it with the ID "p-personal-sticky-header". The reason why it doesn't show right now is that the sticky header menu and the normal menu are different elements in the HTML, which means that the code here has to look and update two different lists. Dreamy Jazz (talk) 12:36, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
