That gives me the info but I was looking for something a little more flexible.
Like being able to insert a tag into a page that will get expanded out to a last update
timestamp for a specific page. That way I can include it in a table that contains other
info as well.
Something like:
{{LASTUPDATE:Page_Title}}
That would look up the last update timestamp for the "Page Title" wiki page and
insert that timestamp.
Already requested in 2006.
BugZilla Search:
(bug 6092[1]) Create colon parserfunction version
of {{REVISIONID}}, {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} etc. that take pagename as parameter
{{REVISIONTIMESTAMP:Page Title}}

The way I understand it after reading that bugzilla entry is that it was
requested, added, but then removed. I've found a way around with some
perl<->mysql scripting that so far is working to my purposes. But this
kind of magic word would be a whole lot easier. It's kind of hard to
figure out if this feature will be added or not. I'll think I'll just
clean up my perl code and move along unless there's something that can
be done to help that bugzilla entry end up getting resolved into a new
feature. Thanks.
