The '''Modification date''' property is a [[Help:Special properties|special property]] in [[Semantic MediaWiki]] with a built-in meaning: it has a fixed value that corresponds to the date of the last modification of each page. This special property is available since [[SMW 1.4.0]].

This property can be used to refer to page modification dates in [[Help:Inline queries|inline queries]], where it can be used like any other property of datatype "[[Help:Type Date|Date]]". This special property should never be set manually, since SMW will take care of updating its value.

The time stored in this property is based on the internal time reckoning of the wiki server, and it may not agree with the time in the timezone of a certain user. Since this value is stored in the database, it is not adjusted based on the current user's timezone preferences.

See the property page "[[Property:Modification date|Modification date]]" to see which pages use this special property on this wiki.
