You still haven't really understood what I want to do.

I'm aiming to create a wiki with *history* in many parts of it and I
want the dates of the articles to reflect the date of their actually
happening.

This will take quite a long time to create and I may well add 'fill
in' articles as time goes on, these would need to be put in their
correct time sequence.

The wiki will have a structure created in the normal way but I want to
be able to do searches with the results sorted in date order.  So for
example I could search for the name of a town and see the results
sorted in the order of my visits (or other dated occurrences).

So it's far from being a 'one off' requirement, I want to be able to
write an article about something I did on, say, 12 Sept. 2005 and set
the creation date for that article to 2005-09-12.  I'll be wanting to
set dates in this way (occasionally) as long as I use the wiki.
