In summary, a magnetic field is generated between the plates of a capacitor due to the displacement current when it charges up, but there is no time averaged magnetic field on a fully charged capacitor. This is because the direction of the magnetic moments of electrons is random and their magnetic fields cancel out at any given point ...
You are correct, that while charging a capacitor there will be a magnetic field present due to the change in the electric field. And of course B contains energy as pointed out. However: As the capacitor charges, the magnetic field does not remain static. This results in electromagnetic waves which radiate energy away.
We know that magnetic fields are generated by moving electrons so there is a magnetic field between the plates of a capacitor due to the displacement current when it charges up.
There is no time averaged magnetic field on a fully charged capacitor. The direction of the magnetic moments of electrons is random. The magnetic fields caused by "individual electrons" add up linearly at every point within the capacitor.
Because the current is increasing the charge on the capacitor's plates, the electric field between the plates is increasing, and the rate of change of electric field gives the correct value for the field B found above. Note that in the question above dΦE dt d Φ E d t is ∂E/∂t in the wikipedia quote.
Since the capacitor plates are charging, the electric field between the two plates will be increasing and thus create a curly magnetic field. We will think about two cases: one that looks at the magnetic field inside the capacitor and one that looks at the magnetic field outside the capacitor.
When a capacitor is charging there is movement of charge, and a current indeed. The tricky part is that there is no exchange of charge between the plates, but since charge accumulates on them you actually measure a current through the cap. If you change the voltage, isn't there a current?

The subject of this chapter is electric fields (and devices called capacitors that exploit them), not magnetic fields, but there are many similarities. Most likely you have experienced electric fields as well. Chapter 1 of this book began with an explanation of static electricity, and how materials such as wax and wool—when rubbed against ...
A magnetic field for a capacitor is a region in space where a magnetic force can be observed due to the presence of a charged capacitor. This field is created by the movement of electric charges within the capacitor, and it can be measured and …
There could be, but such a magnetic field would not be produced by that capacitor. The Maxwell equations state that the only producers of magnetic field are either electric currents, or else the coupling between electric and magnetic fields when the two vary in time. In fact, in a static capacitor situation, both these terms are zero.
We now show that a capacitor that is charging or discharging has a magnetic field between the plates. Figure (PageIndex{2}): shows a parallel plate capacitor with a current (i ) flowing …

What is the magnetic field in the plane parallel to but in between the plates? The capacitor is a parallel plate capacitor with circular plates. A description of the magnetic field. We are only concerned about a snapshot in time, so the current is I I, even though this may change at a later time as the capacitor charges.
We now show that a capacitor that is charging or discharging has a magnetic field between the plates. Figure (PageIndex{2}): shows a parallel plate capacitor with a current (i ) flowing into the left plate and out of the right plate. This current is necessarily accompanied by an electric field that is changing with time: (E_{x}=q/left ...

For a capacitor the charge density is $sigma=frac{Q}{A}$ where Q is the charge and A the area of a plate. The electric field is proportional to the charge density $E=frac{sigma}{epsilon_0}$ . This gives us …

Even though in abstraction circuit theory and electromagnetism tell us the same thing about capacitors, electromagnetism tells us more about the underlying behavior. This story or context for how the fields interact inside the capacitor allows us also to understand why there are no "ideal" capacitors in real life.

When a capacitor is charging, the rate of change $dE/dt$ of the electric field between the plates is non-zero, and from the Maxwell-Ampère equation this causes a circulating magnetic field. …

For a capacitor the charge density is $sigma=frac{Q}{A}$ where Q is the charge and A the area of a plate. The electric field is proportional to the charge density $E=frac{sigma}{epsilon_0}$ . This gives us $$vec{E}=frac{Q}{epsilon_0 A}vec{e}_z$$
When a capacitor is charging, the rate of change $dE/dt$ of the electric field between the plates is non-zero, and from the Maxwell-Ampère equation this causes a circulating magnetic field. Now, since a magnetic field exists, why is the energy of a capacitor only stored in the electric field?
