'''UTC''' is Universal Coordinated Time. Ha ha, I'm just kidding, it's "Coordinated Universal Time". It's basically the "standard" timezone for the world. All timestamps on [[electowiki]] are in UTC. See [[wikipedia:UTC]] to learn more.

:''see also: [[Help:Tildes]]''

With [[MediaWiki]], it's possible to insert the timestamp of the change you are making into a talk page (or into an article). Four tildes in a row (i.e. "<code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>") puts your username and a timestamp (whatever the time is on the server when you save your changes) and five tildes in a row (i.e. "<code><nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki></code>") puts '''only''' the timestamp.
