I fail to infer the exact point of historical introduction of STL into actual C++ standard library from the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Template_Library

It appears to me that C++11 was somehow significant for this STL, as it was becoming a part of C++ Standard Library. But I find another publication much earlier in 2000 itself: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=557814

From your link- ideas from the STL were incorporated into the draft standard around 1994. The first C++ standard was released in 1998. So in a sense "the STL" has always been part of standard C++.

With a looser definition of "standard C++". Using Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language". 2e (1991) did not incorporate the STL, 3e (1997) did.
