Template talk:Wikipedia

Date
How to make it use the timestamp of the moment the template is added to a page, rather than the moment the template is created (first attempt) or the moment the page is refreshed (second)? Obviously, just putting five tildes result in the former, using templates or magic words to solve this first problem result in the latter, and trying various schemes to force the use of subst: or safesubst: to solve this second problem results in broken code.
