-* '''Time diff'''. This is the number of hours to be added or subtracted from [[w:UTC|UTC]] to find your [[w:time zone|time zone]]. This time zone is used when calculating displayed page update timestamps, and may become temporarily incorrect from time to time if you observe [[w:daylight saving time|daylight saving time]] -- don't forget to update it to match ''your'' local time, because the Wiki doesn't know where you are or precisely when you celebrate DST. (Also, the server's clock may be slightly offset from reality, much as Wikipedia articles may be.) A scattering of typical (and possibly incorrect!) time diff values are below. If yours isn't listed, try [http://www.timeanddate.com/time/abbreviations.html this link] or add and subtract a few hours as needed.
