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tell a search engine when the page's content is no longer valid.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. Thanks
