With normal transclusion:
{{CURRENTDAY}}-{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}-{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTTIME}}
produces...
22-December-2024 09:59
With subclusion:
{{subst:CURRENTDAY}}-{{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}}-{{subst:CURRENTYEAR}} {{subst:CURRENTTIME}}
produces...

But in the latter case, the actual source of this page has been changed permanently.
Try it: edit this page and replace the date-and-time information shown under subclusion with the protected version just above it. Then save the page and reopen it.
The question is: can this be used to automate wiki-readable timestamps?
Imagine that a subclusion'd version of the month and date were in a template in such a way that they automatically time-stamped a DangerReport when a user updated it. Comparisons between the 'current' month and date and those so timestamped could be used to automate aging of DangerReports... or at least I think so.
Checking basic timestamping: {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}}? Is this undefined?: 20241222095932
While we're at it, lets take a look at some of the other cool stuff from [1]:
{{LOCALTIME}}? Is this undefined?: 09:59
{{NUMBEROFUSERS}}? Is this undefined?: 51,338
{{NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS}}? Is this undefined?: 18
{{NUMBEROFADMINS}}? Is this undefined?: 7
This one might be cool: __NEWSECTIONLINK__? If this works, there should be a "+" at the top of this page for new sections.
Yup, that one works.
Ah, what is the mediawiki version of the UD wiki? {{CURRENTVERSION}}: 1.39.1
Finally, anything the UD wiki can do specially? It'll be listed on the Special:Version page.
Other tools to be used in this:
{{PREVIOUSMONTH}} isn't implemented here (undefined: Template:PREVIOUSMONTH) but this is what generates it:
{{#expr:(({{CURRENTMONTH}}+10)mod 12)+1}}
Does it work? Only if our wiki has implemented the math functions... Here: {{#expr:((12+10)mod 12)+1}} Nope. Doesn't work. What is missing comes from here.
OK:
[[Image:mall-{{{status|unknown}}}-small.jpg]]
{| style="width:7px; height:7px; background:{{StatusMap {{{status|unknown}}}}}" | <!-- Hah! Nothing in the box! -->
|}
