Static countdown for weekly meetings.
Stages, based on the amount of Time before the next weekly meeting:
- T > 1 day: show the number of remaining days;
- T < 1 day: show the number of remaining hours;
- T < 1 hour: show the number of remaining minutes;
- T < 1 second: announce the meeting;
- Next morning: restart the cycle.
Without parameters (and here), the template shows an example countdown. The accuracy of the calculations depends on the local instance of MediaWiki and from network caching.
Instructions ("parameter=default:type := definition"):
- day_name=Friday:string := day of the week in extended format. Case-sensitive: always start with a capital letter.
- start_hour_time=12:integer := hour of the day. Use UTC.
