Forum:Revision timestamp

Is there a way to get the timestamp of a transcluded page? I'm building a template that needs to get info from several pages but only display it from pages edited in the last 7 days.

Currently using the magic word gives the revision timestamp of the page that transcludes (the one you are currently on) and not the one that holds the info.

Is there a parameter that can be added to to get the revision timestamp of the transcluded page or a different method to get it?

the only workaround I found is adding to the pages with the info but it doesn't change if it isn't replaced every time someone edits the page, and it makes it harder for other contributors to use this.

could you write a template that adds that to the page (using 'tag') Granpa 16:11, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

 * I read your problem with this. what do you mean by tag? this? I can make a template that adds the timestamp to the page but the problem is that the next time the page is edited the user needs to manually change the date to subst:REVISIONTIMESTAMP and that misses the point completely. if you mean the tags i saw, what tagname would you use? also thanks for responding - it seems to me pretty basic to have a way to query the revision time of a different page than the one you are editing. -- FMF ( talk ) 22:37, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
