**Power tags** are an advanced feature which can add extra functions and layout options to your wiki pages (and sometimes research notes). They are entered like regular tags but follow the format `key:value`. After adding a power tag, you must refresh the page. To add tags, look for this box at the bottom of a wiki page or research note: [![tags.png](https://i.publiclab.org/system/images/photos/000/006/790/medium/tags.png)](https://i.publiclab.org/system/images/photos/000/006/790/original/tags.png) ### General power tags * `events:foo` displays a listing of research notes tagged with "event" and "foo", and a link to post new notes with those tags in the left sidebar. * `sidebar:featured` displays "featured" links and images in the sidebar instead of the usual "related content" * `style:presentation` hides the wiki toolbar (with Edit, Talk, Revisions) for more formal pages, and makes the lead image of wiki pages full-width * `style:minimal` just hides the wiki toolbar (but it's accessible via a small caret button) * `style:wide` removes the 800px width limit from wiki pages, and allows them to flow full page * `style:fancy` is used to style articles from the GrassrootsMappingForum * `style:nobanner` * `parent:foo` adds a bar that links back to a parent wiki page * `with:username` adds a co-author to your research note with a live link to the user's profile page, however, the note itself will not show up under that user's profile. * `lang:es` or `iso:es` is the way to indicate language in a research note or event. In this example, `es` indicates Spanish. ### List of power tags useful for chapter pages: * `lat:41.023` and `lon:-71.023` latitude and longitude. Together with the simple tag "chapter", the combination of these three tags will create a point for your chapter [on the Places map](/places) * `events:foo` displays a listing of research notes tagged with "event" and "foo", and a link to post new notes with those tags in the left sidebar. Especially useful where foo = the name of your chapter page. * `list:foo` displays recent posts from a Google Group with the name "foo" and a subscription input box * `tabbed:notes` and `tabbed:wikis` display a tabbed header which offers tabs with links of related research note and wiki content * `notes:foo` displays 4 recent "popular" research notes tagged "foo" (in grid view, popular means >20 views) at the top of the page, under the tabs if they exist. For example see [Gulf Coast](/wiki/gulf-coast] * `parent:foo` adds a bar that links back to a parent wiki page, especially useful for places within regions ### Inline power tags You can now use "inline" power tags in the middle of a research note or wiki page. The first one is for generating a list of notes for a given tag, and is used in this format: > `[notes:]` For example, to list all notes tagged with `peru`, you can use: > `[notes:peru]` For a more complex example, you can list all questions on the topic of "infragram" using: > `[notes:question:infragram]` More advanced uses like **activity grids** can be found in this post: https://publiclab.org/notes/liz/08-30-2016/check-out-these-activity-grids And in the [requesting responses](https://publiclab.org/wiki/requesting-responses) documentation. There's also this type of "edit here" prompt: > `[edit]` Which generates this type of prompt: [edit] **** ### Automated power tags, not for manual adding You might see some of these being generated automatically, like when checking the box for a Research Note to be an "Event" or a "question" or when awarding Barnstars to someone's Research Note. Don't manually add these: * `event:rsvp` `date:YYYY-MM-DD` `rsvp:username` * `barnstar:barnstarname` * `question:foo` `response:foo` ### Tag aliasing _This feature is for admins only -- please contact web@publiclab.org with questions._ We've created a system for aliasing tags, which serves a number of purposes: A) **disambiguation** -- we have both `spectrometer` and `spectrometry` -- as of recently, we'd prefer `spectrometry`. So we make each the alias of the other, and the two become somewhat (but not completely) interchangeable on the site. 1. When looking at https://publiclab.org/tag/spectrometer, you see content tagged with `spectrometry`, and vice versa. 2. Email notifications do not yet take advantage of aliasing, but may at some point (see below). B) **subcategories** -- `multispectral-imaging` contains and is broader than `infragram`. 1. When looking at https://publiclab.org/tag/multispectral-imaging, you should see content tagged with `infragram`. 2. When looking at https://publiclab.org/tag/infragram, you should **NOT** see content tagged with `multispectral-imaging` -- your query is more specific than that. **Later goals:** Some aliasing features are more complex and not complete yet. **Email subscriptions** - when people subscribe to a tag, they should receive emails when content is posted using a tag that is a (more generalized) alias of the subscribed-to tag.
