==Usage==
 
<nowiki>{{</nowiki>CGNDB|''id''|''name''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
 
or
 
<nowiki>{{</nowiki>Cite cgndb|''id''|''name''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
 
or
 
<nowiki>{{</nowiki>CGNDB|id=''id''|name=''name''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
 
or
 
<nowiki>{{</nowiki>Cite cgndb|id=''id''|name=''name''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>
 
where:
 
*<code>''id''</code> is the five-digit alphanumeric unique identifier for the geographic feature, and
 
*<code>''name''</code> is the optional name to display (otherwise it will use the page name).
