If you activate the list view in the template manager, you have the last modified date for each template.

Closing as WorksForMe.

Thank you! I did not know about the list view.
Neither did I know what ‘WORKSFORME’ means!

But… why does a renamed template bear the date its name was changed? I think the original date should be kept, in case I recover the old version by reverting to the previous name.

It means that it works as expected.

Because that is a modification. Instead of renaming the file, you should save it under another name, so you keep the date of the original.
