Ddoc (/phobos, aka the builtin -D flag in the compiler) was first 
and the process of replacing it with DDox 
(https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/ddox) is taking quite some 
time, because the output isn't identical and there are still some 
"design" issues with Ddox, see e.g. this PR for an overview:

https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/1526

The transition started about three years ago and I think it just 
doesn't bother anyone enough to work on it:

The "View the source" code link uses a link to the latest stable 
release (i.e. the one that is deployed on dlang.org, currently 
2.074.1):

https://github.com/dlang/phobos/blob/v2.074.1/std/datetime.d#L13022

The "Improve this page" links to `master`, because you want to 
improve the file at the `master` branch, which admittedly can be 
a bit tricky.
When you want to modify `master` branch, the `-prerelease` pages 
are your friend, e.g.

https://dlang.org/library-prerelease/std/datetime/date/date.to_string.html
