I'm not convinced that textlib.py is the best spot for this. textlib parsing is timestamps of edits, which occur in a site specific timezone, have a very strict parse-able format, and occur in a year after 2001, which means it can be based on the datetime datatype, doesnt need to worry about other calendar systems, etc.

On the other hand, data in wiki page templates is very messy, needs to be WbTime (not datetime).
