 Migrations uses Phinx, which has some feature flags that are disabled by default for now, but
 can enabled if you want them to:
 
-* ``unsigned_primary_keys``: Should Phinx create primary keys as unsigned integers? (default: ``false``)
-* ``column_null_default``: Should Phinx create columns as null by default? (default: ``false``)
+* ``unsigned_primary_keys``: Should Migrations create primary keys as unsigned integers? (default: ``false``)
+* ``column_null_default``: Should Migrations create columns as null by default? (default: ``false``)
+* ``add_timestamps_use_datetime``: Should Migrations use ``DATETIME`` type
+  columns for the columns added by ``addTimestamps()``.
 
 Set them via Configure to enable (e.g. in ``config/app.php``)::
