How to access default page models in template wagtail

So this awesome Wagtail/Django framework is nice! I like it allot.

Still getting used to but seems straight forward, What I do not understand tho is how can I access default page models and render them in the templates?

So Wagtail has this models that you make based on their Page class.

class SomeClass(Page):
    """
    Some text
    """
    intro = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True)
    body_small = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True)

All good and well. Now my page template looks like this

{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load wagtailcore_tags %}

{% block base_content %}

    {{ page.intro }}
    {{ page.body_small }}

{% endblock %}

Now I want to add the settings model items like Published Date. Those are default from Wagtail, see: enter image description here

What page model do I need to use?

{{ page.published_date }} //Does not work

Any suggestions?

The fields in the Settings tab are available as {{ page.go_live_at }} and {{ page.expire_at }}. However, these are only used for scheduled publishing so may not be a particularly relevant thing to output on the page - {{ page.first_published_at }} and {{ page.last_published_at }} are probably more useful. See http://docs.wagtail.io/en/stable/reference/pages/model_reference.html for more.
