On Wikimedia Commons, for derivative works, the “date of creation” refers to when ''you'' made your version, not when the original was created.

So:
* Use today’s date (or the actual date you finished your adaptation).
* The original file’s date will already be visible in the attribution/source link, so there’s no need to duplicate it.

Example:
* Date: 27 October 2025 (today, when you finished your adaptation)
* Author: Original by Jane Doe; adaptation by JohnSmith
* Source: Link to original file

This is standard Commons practice for derivative works — it makes clear what part of the work you’re responsible for and when.

If you want, I can put together a complete, ready-to-paste Wikimedia Commons upload form for your adapted image, including author, source, description, license, and date. That way you won’t miss any step.
