User:Wonghk3/Sandbox/WikiText Case Study Instructions

Please follow these instructions for your FINAL Wikitext Exercise:

BASIC page creation and formatting
1. Create a new sandbox named: Planet Mars

2. Add four  "== headers =="  named: Introduction, Location, Natural Satellites, and References

3. Copy the following paragraph and place it under the Introduction header. Change the paragraph width to 85%. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System after Mercury. In English, Mars carries a name of the Roman god of war and is often referred to as the 'Red Planet'. The latter refers to the effect of the iron oxide prevalent on Mars' surface, which gives it a reddish appearance distinctive among the astronomical bodies visible to the naked eye. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth.

4. Under the Location header:
 * Embed the image named File:Planets2013.png, then position it on the right side of the page limiting the size to 250px and adding a centered caption "Planet Location from the Sun".
 * Copy the following sentence below the embedded image.

The following are the most historically relevant planets in the Solar System:


 * At the end of that sentence, add the following reference

Wikipedia contributors, "Solar System", in Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System, accessed 20 February 2020. 5. Under the Natural Satellites header:
 * Copy and place the following sentence below the header.

Mars has two relatively small (compared to Earth's) natural moons, Phobos (about 22 km (14 mi) in diameter) and Deimos (about 12 km (7.5 mi) in diameter), which orbit close to the planet. Asteroid capture is a long-favored theory, but their origin remains uncertain.


 * Add the following reference to the end of that sentence.

ESA website: Close Inspection for Phobos. Retrieved June 13, 2006.

6. Make sure that all references show up under the References header.

7. Add a "sandbox" Category.

8. Add a Breadcrumb trail pointing to the following internal links and ending on your page:


 * User:Wonghk3/Sandbox/WikiTest/Milky Way Galaxy
 * User:Wonghk3/Sandbox/WikiTest/Solar System"

9. Add an SEO to your page.

INTERMEDIATE additions
1. At the top of the page (before the breadcrumb trail), add the template named: Wonghk3/sandbox/WikiTest

2. Under the Location header (below the paragraph), create a "single row table' with three columns (cells):


 * First column will contain the cell title Inner Solar System and list the following planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
 * Second column will contain the cell title Outer Solar System and list the following planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
 * Third column will contain the cell title Trans-Neptunian objects and list the planet: Pluto.

3. In the single row table, prepare an external link for the planet Mars using the Wikipedia page for Mars.

4. Place the infobox named Wonghk3/sandbox/WikiTest2 Infobox at the top of your page (before the embedded template) and add the following parameters and data values:

5. Compare the results of your work with Henny's Planet Mars page.

EXTRA BLESSINGS FUN
Prepare an image map for the sun and all of the planets using File:Planets2013.png. Link them to their related Wikipedia page.
