==Timer / Countdown template==
I took the told {{t|'''timer}}''' template and stripped it down to just the countdown and made a {{t|countdown}} template. Now you can use it in-line or create your own box to put it in. 'Countdown' is currently placed in the [[:Category:Test templates|Test templates]] category since I'm not sure about any kinks yet. [[User:LostInRiverview|LostInRiverview]] has made an effort to find out which time zone abbreviations it can handle on his talk page (archived and moved to [[Template talk:Countdown]]).

:As far as I can gather, only timezone abbreviations used in the main United States (or adjacent areas of North America), as well as UTC, apply. These zones are Pacific Standard/Daylight Time (PST/PDT), Mountain Standard/Daylight Time (MST/MDT), Central Standard/Daylight Time (CST/CDT), Eastern Standard/Daylight Time (EST/EDT), and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The difference between Standard time and Daylight time depends on the time of year, and whether a certain locality practices Daylight Saving/Summer Time. For this, and a couple other reasons, I would advocate that the countdown clock be used with (UTC) in most, if not all, circumstances. -- [[User:LostInRiverview|Patrick (LostInRiverview)]]<small> ([[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk]])([[User_blog:LostInRiverview|blog]])([[Special:Random|random page]])</small> 15:53, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
