From NASA Earthdata Wiki
There are plenty of great references, including:
Contents |
Commonly used tags
1. Gray Box
- This is a frequent unwanted occurrence for beginners.
- It happens when you begin a line with a space
- You get a nice box, like this (Here examples are shown inside such a box.):
<space>Gray Box
2. Headers
- Surround text of header with "=="
- Use more "===" for sub headings
- Such headers are automatically placed in page Table of Contents
- Unless you include __NOTOC__ anywhere on the page (and don't surround it with <nowiki> tags)
==Header==
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Header 4
3. Indents
- Use colons at start of line (more for deeper indent)
::Use colons
- one colon
- two colons
- three colons
- two colons
4. Bullets
- Use stars at start of line (more for sublists)
*Use stars
- list
- sublist
- sublist
- sublist
5. Links and New Pages
- URL's are automatic links, e.g., http://earthdata.nasa.gov
- Square brackets surround links we build inside the wiki
- New pages are generated by surrounding a unique, local name with square brackets (You can prefix with "ESB" for links local to this page to save generic names for the admin) usually followed within the brackets by a vertical bar "|" and the text you want shown to indicate the link
[[ESB New page name|visible name]]
Cool way to communicate group ToDo's
- Use this trick when preparing list of items to do in preparing a group proposal
- Edit this page to see how it is done
- 20px Item that needs to be done
- 20px Item that has been completed
Tables
There is a great reference HERE
- Here is an example of a simple table (using a format that is easy to understand). Note insertion of "style" and "align" to right align the contents of the first cell.
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
There is a lot more information on tables HERE.

Renaming and Moving
Existing pages can be renamed. The terms "rename" and "move" mean the same in this context.
Rename Instructions:
- With the correct page displayed, click on the "Move" tab near the top of the page.
- Give a new title for the page, and say yes to the option to also move the page's talk (discussion) page.
- Click the "move page" button and the page will be renamed to the new title. The old title will become a redirect page, so any links to the old title will still go to the new page.
- On the next pop-up page click on the new page link.
Update Links:
- Go to the "What links here" in the toolbox to find which pages link to this page.
- Correct these old links by replacing the old page name with the new one.
- Once this is completed remove the redirect from the old page and this will remove the old page from the "What links here" for the new page.
These are short instructions. For a more detailed version see Meta.Wikimedia.
GeoTagging

- Save your edited page by clicking "save page" button below the text box
- The new link will appear in red--click on it to begin editing the new page in a new space.
