Usage

This is a variation of Template:Right now, without the message "Purge this page for a new update." The number of articles is made smaller.

This template makes a blue box appear that includes the current time and the amount of articles on Wikipedia at this moment. Put this at the top of your user page or your talk page. It is meant as a user space page header.

Note that this template adheres to the preferences of the user viewing the page. If you are comfortable with the American date format (May 29, 2025) but are viewing the Commonwealth format (29 May 2025), then you may change it by going to your preferences, and clicking on the Date and Time tab.

Syntax

{{Right now

| boxcolor    = 
| bordercolor = 
| roundvalue  = <!-- Only works in Mozilla-compatible web browsers -->
| textcolor   =
| width       = <!-- Default: 100% -->
}}
