The Expiry extension marks a selected item as ‘expired’ after a certain period of time. This marking can be cancelled at any time. Expiry is the ideal basis for an archiving system. Obsolete articles can be moved to an archive namespace after a query.
Setting an expiration date
To set the expiration date for an article:
- Click Set expiry in the page tools.
- Enter an expiration date. It could be today or any day in the future.
- Enter an expiration comment (optional).
- Click Done
When the expiration date is reached, the page shows the expiration marker "expired" in the title area. Additionally a watermark is shown on the article by default.
Unexpiring a page
To remove the expiration marker from an article, you can either click the drop-down arrow next to the "expired"-marker in the title area and unexpire the page, or click on the Manage expiry button in the page tools.
