General Info

(Countdown) - Parses EventName, TimeStart and TimeEnd into a countdown, mostly used on event mentioning pages.

Utilizes the parser functions {{#time:F d, Y h:i:s A e|}} and {{#time:F d, Y|}} and is thus able to accept a variety of formats which are parsed and stored internally as UTC.
The following are accepted: backslashes (2019/1/1), dashes (2019-1-1), most manner of timezones (+9, +9 hours. +0930, JST, GMT +9) and commas in the correct spacing (November 20, 2019).
The following are not accepted and will throw errors: any dots as they cause non integer values, including dot spacing (2019.1.1) and specifying timezones in non integer (+9.5).
If no timezone is specified e.g. October 4, 2018 06:00, the syntax automatically assumes UTC.
