What is Expiry?

Expiry marks after a certain period of time a chosen article a wiki page as "obsolete". The article page can be updated by editing or by confirming that the article page is still up-to-date. Expiry is the ideal basis for an archiving system. Outdated articles can be moved to an archive automatically or after being queried.

Functionality
