Usage

A search engine can be found here. Select the search type from the menu on the right. Note that links to specific records in the database will not work (as stated on the interface itself).

For Antarctic locations, specify |type=antarid.

To disable links to the publisher, when the template is used multiple times in an article, use |links=off.

If antarid or links is specified, then named parameters should be used.

Since the GNIS site is very stable, the accessdate is not necessary.

Examples

Used with named parameters:

{{cite gnis |id=269051 | name=Mount Whitney}}"Mount Whitney". Geographic Names Information System. United States Geological Survey.

Used with unnamed parameters:

{{cite gnis|269051|Mount Whitney|2008-10-31}}"Mount Whitney". Geographic Names Information System. United States Geological Survey. Retrieved 2008-10-31.

Antarctic locations:

{{cite gnis |type=antarid |id=15152 |name=Mount Terror}}"Mount Terror". Geographic Names Information System. United States Geological Survey.

Publisher links off:

{{cite gnis |id=269051 | name=Mount Whitney |links=off}}"Mount Whitney". Geographic Names Information System. United States Geological Survey.
