Add some doc
[edit]I've written a bit of doc for this template (shamelessly adapted from en:Template:Unsigned2/doc) but I'd prefer another admin to insert it for me (I don't wish to make a mistake). Here's the text:
==Usage== <tt>{{subst:unsigned2 | time, date | user name or IP}}</tt> Here is an example of how to fill in the code, and the result produced by it: :<tt>{{subst:unsigned2|23:27, 14 February 2007|128.113.147.166}}</tt> <small>—Preceding [[w:Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:128.113.147.166|128.113.147.166]] ([[User talk:128.113.147.166|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/128.113.147.166|contribs]]) 23:27, 14 February 2007</small><!-- Template:Unsigned2 --> The above example used info copied from the edit history of [[Image talk:Saturn eclipse.jpg]].

- Well I inserted it, but it didn't look too good. / Fred J 22:02, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, I have fixed it. If you want to correct it, feel free to do so. A mistake is probably not that critical. / Fred J 22:05, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- One problem is that the example was not actually used. A second, more pressing, problem is that it was actually wrong. Note that the comment of 128.113.147.166 on 14 February 2007 was actually posted at 21:27 UTC, not 23:27 as claimed above (and consequently on the template). Edit histories are displayed in the user's own timezone, in Jastrow's case UTC+1 (CET, Central European Time, +1 more for Daylight Savings or Summer Time during the Northern Hemisphere's Summer to form CEST, Central European Summer Time), whereas this template adds "(UTC)" without mention of the need to convert to UTC. For an actually correct example:
Begin example
"({{subst:unsigned2|12:03, 2 September 2007|81.216.183.206}}" created the following:
"—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.216.183.206 (talk • contribs) at 12:03, 2 September 2007 (UTC)"
The above example used info copied from the edit history of Commons:Deletion requests/Image:50centpic.jpg, adjusted to UTC from a user's "local time according to the preference setting" using that user's "Time zone Offset" (on the "Date and time" tab of Special:Preferences) per m:Help:Page history and m:Help:Preferences#Time_zone.
