New page

This is my first attempt to bring in a recent Wikipedia article to help build out Marspedia.

My personal opinion ([https://marspedia.org/User_talk:Ioneill#Contents_from_Wikipedia.3F others have disagreed]) is that we should leverage the great content on Wikipedia related to Mars to build out Marspedia, at least in the short-term.

For this article, I had to remove a lot of things that Marspedia/Mediawiki is not configured for:

* Since we don't have pages (yet) for many of the space-related ancillary topics like [[w:American Geophysical Union|American Geophysical Union]] or [[w:Bill Nye|Bill Nye]], I am using the newly added [https://marspedia.org/Marspedia:About#Interwiki Interwiki] syntax to link to Wikipedia for these.

* While we have the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite Cite extension] installed, the <ref> system on Wikipedia uses a bunch of templates we don't have. So I removed all of those for now, for this article.

* Most of the info boxes on Wikipedia don't translate over since we don't have those templates either.

* The links to Youtube had to be manually fixed because we don't have Wikipedia's Youtube template.

I will be working to streamline things so that this process is easier for others.

 Here is the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_2020 Mars 2020] article on Wikipedia, for reference.  You can see there were quite a few things I had to remove.
