If a B/C break is needed anyway, wouldn't this be a good chance to kill
that weird special behavior and just use {{#time:..format...}} for the
current date and {{#time:...format|{{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}}}} for the last
revision's date like on all normal pages? Undiscoverable easter eggs like
this do not make wiki administration any easier.
