Right, this is a special case that I did not think about. In this case, it is actually only the modification date that is stored by SMW. It turned out that it is not so easy to have a simple, unified place to get and record such MediaWiki-based data in SMW, hence it was only done for the modification date yet (and this is already covered in two places so as to not be deleted accidentally in update operations). Other data of this type would be handled similarly, but it depends on the data where exactly is the best place to get it from MW.
