![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Template:GNIS 2. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Template:GNIS 2 generates an external link to a Feature Detail Report from the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The external link is displayed as a footnote style link ( [1] ) or with an optionally specified name as the anchor text.
Usage
The only required parameter is the GNIS Feature ID number (optionally, this parameter can be named id
).
{{GNIS 2|ID}} {{GNIS 2|id=ID}}
If desired, the template can display the feature name as the anchor text, which can be specified in a second unnamed parameter (optionally, this parameter name can be named name
):
{{GNIS 2|ID|Name}} {{GNIS 2|id=ID|name=Name}}
For GNIS features in Antarctica, add |type=antarid
.
{{GNIS 2|ID|type=antarid}} {{GNIS 2|id=ID|type=antarid}}
{{GNIS 2|ID|Name|type=antarid}} {{GNIS 2|id=ID|name=Name|type=antarid}}
