John thanks for the answer, but I don't get your answer. I've never seen a parser function being used in a meta tag description. I've checked out the extension:wikiseo --- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiSEO
and see no way to add the expires meta tag to a page. This should involve no caching issues since all the expires meta tag does is tell a search engine when the page's content is no longer valid. That way if someone has an event on July 1 the page will show in Google's results up until that date and not show after that. Mediawiki supports the No Index tag via a magic word and allows meta tags via some extensions,but I still have found nothing to allow the "expires" meta tag. So if if I missed something in your answer ,please,if you could, send me a example. And if anyone else has any thoughts on how to add the "expires" tag please tell me. (Except if your answer is for me to write a new extension) All the best to everyone.
