Description anminh2008 2011-07-24 00:26:25 UTC 
Add {{CURRENTSECONDFRACTAL}} to provide the current 1/100 sec, 1/1000 sec, etc.
(depends on how precise and accurate servers store time)
Comment 1 Dan Collins 2011-07-31 19:16:31 UTC 
I don't think fractal is the right word.
Also, WHY?
Comment 2 anminh2008 2011-08-01 07:07:08 UTC 
I want to use all power of computers' clock: "As accurate and precise as possible"
Comment 3 anminh2008 2011-08-01 07:10:22 UTC 
And to use the most out of arbitrary-precision mathematics
Comment 4 Dan Collins 2011-08-01 15:17:00 UTC 
Given that inaccuracy in page load times will make this meaningless anyway, can you provide an example where it would be useful to have more decimal points in the time? It would in no way be more accurate or precise when it can routinely take as long as 300ms to the calculated time to get to the client...
Comment 5 anminh2008 2011-08-03 13:03:24 UTC 
Cilent, not client. (It is useful for mathematics)
Comment 7 Dan Collins 2011-08-03 14:35:12 UTC 
Closing as invalid as the requester has been unable to provide a use case. Also, what do you think a 'cilent' is?
Comment 8 Krinkle 2011-08-04 04:16:53 UTC 
Note that MediaWiki has support for extensions, you can implement most if not all functionality you like from an extension without it having to be changed in MediaWiki core package.

You could write an extension to provide additional Time-related magic words such as {{CURRENTSECONDFRACTAL}}. See also http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Magic_words
