12 or 24 hour clock in the Cook Islands[edit]

Generally we use 12 hour clock for NZ articles, but I'm seeing the 24 hour clock being used in most of our Cook Islands articles. Never been to the Cook Islands so don't know. Add to the exception list? @Ground Zero, DaGizza:? SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 13:57, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I checked out some of the links on the Rarotonga page. If they have times, they are 12-hour clock. The government's bus timetable is, too. This is not an authoritative search, but in the absence of better information, I'd go with that. Ground Zero (talk) 20:35, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I'll switch all of the pages that use 24. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 23:00, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also, how do we format currency? As $100, or NZ$100. I'm not sure whether $100 might be confused with CI$100. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 23:08, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't CI$1.00 = NZ$1.00? If so, there is no problem with confusion. Ground Zero (talk) 23:17, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, so similar situation as the FKP. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 23:19, 25 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
