Redraiderengineer (talk) 09:48, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is Israel daylight time really abbreviated IST, same as Israel standard time? I wonder if the table key ['pyt'] shouldn't be changed to ['dprk'] (abbreviation of 'Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea') or ['kpt'] (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for North Korea +'t') for the avoidance of confusion with Paraguay (PYT). And while I'm thinking about this, where did you get the abbreviation KZT for Kazakh time? KZT is not listed at List of time zone abbreviations.

—Trappist the monk (talk) 16:01, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DST in Israel is Israel Summer Time, which is not ideal for the abbreviation, but the Time in Israel article might help with disambiguation.

For Pyongyang Time, I would suggest PYST based on the source from the list of abbreviations.

KZT is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for Kazakhstan (KZ) + T. Redraiderengineer (talk) 21:33, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I meant to answer this and was distracted by other goings on.

DST in Israel is Israel Summer Time, which is not ideal for the abbreviation, but the Time in Israel article might help with disambiguation. In Israel Summer Time, for English (which this wiki is), that article defines daylight saving time in Israel as: 'Israel Daylight Time (IDT)' and then uses the 'IDT' abbreviation consistently throughout. Oughtn't we be using that abbreviation here?

I would suggest PYST based on the source from the list of abbreviations. What 'list of abbreviations'? Link?

I was talking about the table index key (note the lowercase) which is why I suggested ['dprk'] or ['kpt']. This latter form is consistent with all of the other keys in your list. Why would you want DPRK time to be different?

—Trappist the monk (talk) 17:41, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I quickly found a couple of sources that refer to DST in Israel as Summer Time. Despite the change of "DST" to "IDT" by an editor, the article title and body uses "Summer Time" roughly as many times. However, I'm fine with either abbreviation.

...moved to Summer Time...
— Press release from the Knesset

...Daylight Saving Time, known as Summer Time in Israel...
— Article from Arutz Sheva

The debate over changing Israel Summer Time...
— Article from The Jerusalem Post

Sorry, I used uppercase but am also referring to ['pyst'] as the table index key. It was in the source used for the list of time zone abbreviations, and it's also closer to the official PYT abbreviation referenced in the article. I'm also fine any of the three abbreviations. Redraiderengineer (talk) 21:42, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, done with IDT and ['kpt'].

I suppose that we should note here that the module is not smart enough to get IDT start time correct two years out of seven because it does not know how to decode 'Friday before the last Sunday of March'. As currently setup, Module:Time will be late by one week when 30 and 31 March land on Friday; for those years, IDT should start 23 and 24 March.

Please add Malaysian Standard Time (MST) for use in Time in Malaysia. Alternate abbreviations are (from most prefered to least prefered) MST (Malaysian Standard Time), WSM (Malay: Waktu Standard Malaysia), WPM (Malay: Waktu Piawai Malaysia or MYT (Malaysian Time).

['mst'] = {
	abbr = 'MST',
	dst_abbr = '',
	utc_offset = '8:00',
	df = 'dmy',
	dst_begins = '',
	dst_ends = '',
	dst_time = '',
	article = 'Time in Malaysia'
},

NFSL2001 (talk) 08:55, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I googled XXX time where XXX is an abbreviation that you provided. I got:

MST time – Mountain standard time; also 'Malaysian standard time' suggests the existence of non-standard (daylight saving) time

WSM time – country-music radio station, weber grills, world's strongest man, digital metronome

WPM time – 'words per minute' typing speed

MYT time – Malaysia time

done with MYT: {{time|myt}} → 01:17, 26 June 2025 MYT [refresh]

—Trappist the monk (talk) 14:58, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Trappist the monk Note that Malaysian Standard Time is the official name as written in Malaysian law; see Time in Malaysia. MST or WSM would be strongly prefered. WSM time would match the Malaysian law but in Malay; precedence include WIB/WITA/WIT for Indonesia which are names based on Indonesian. This addition is mainly for {Infobox time zone} template in Time in Malaysia. NFSL2001 (talk) 16:54, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Trappist the monk If WSM could not be added, can you add an alias for "Malaysian Standard Time" to MYT? This would work fine as Template:time looks at name= first, which is required for Time in Malaysia as we need to show "Malaysian Standard Time" in the name= field anyway. NFSL2001 (talk) 14:49, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the infobox at Time in Malaysia:

change |name=Malaysian Standard Time to |title=Malaysian Standard Time

change |initials=MST to |initials=MYT
