Deadline format

Deadline field can contain:

1. The simplest option: a date and time in ISO format. Example: "2017-08-19 23:59".
2. If a deadline is rolling, you can use a template date, just substitute year with %y, or month with %m. Example: "%y-%m-15 23:59" means there is a deadline on the 15th day of every month, every year. "2017-%m-15" means a deadline on 15th day of every month, but only in 2017, i.e. "2018-01-15" is not a part of this template.
3. A list of (1) or (2). Example of two rolling deadlines, with one in the end of May every year, and the second in the end of February:

- "%y-05-31 23:59"
- "%y-02-28 23:59"

On the page, all deadlines are displayed in viewer's local time (that's a feature).

Note: If deadline hour is {h}:00, it will be automatically translated into {h-1}:59:59 to avoid pain and confusion when it happens to be midnight in local time.

Timezones

Common name	tz

Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8)	Etc/GMT+8 (Yes, the sign is inverted. I know.)

American Samoa Time (UTC-11)	Pacific/Samoa or Etc/GMT+11. This timezone does not use DST.
