The fields vnum and name must be specified.
Bug
There is a documented feature in the MediaWiki software that causes an error message when this template is used if the vnum contains an equals sign. For example Kerinci a volcano in Indonesia has a vnum of 0601-17=. When such a vnum occurs a citation like {{cite gvp|0601-17=|Kerinci}} will not work. However, {{cite gvp|vnum=0601-17=|name=Kerinci}} or even {{cite gvp|1=0601-17=|2=Kerinci}} will work without any problem. For example:
Wiki markup
{{cite gvp|0601-17=|Kerinci}}
produces:
Examples
Wiki markup
{{cite gvp
| vnum = 1201-04-
| name = Adams
| accessdate = 2008-07-04 }}
produces:
"Adams". Global Volcanism Program. Smithsonian Institution. Retrieved 2008-07-04.
Wiki markup
{{cite gvp|1=1201-04-|2=Adams|3=2008-07-04}}
produces:
"Adams". Global Volcanism Program. Smithsonian Institution. Retrieved 2008-07-04.
Wiki markup
{{cite gvp|1=1201-04-|2=Adams}}
produces:
