| 40px | This is a documentation subpage for Template:GNIS. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
These templates generate external links to the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
Contents
Template:GNIS
Template:GNIS generates an external link to a GNIS page. The only required parameter is the GNIS Feature ID number (optionally, this parameter can be named id) and the template then uses the article title as the anchor text:
{{GNIS|ID}}
{{GNIS|id=ID}}
To have the link text be other than the article name, use a second parameter (optionally, this can be named name):
{{GNIS|ID|Name}}
{{GNIS|id=ID|name=Name}}
This can be used when the Wikipedia page name contains disambiguation brackets; for example, at the page: Mount Washington (New Hampshire), use {{GNIS|871352|Mount Washington}} to have "U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Mount Washington" rather than "U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Mount Washington (New Hampshire)". This is also necessary should you need to add a link to an article about somebody or something other than the linked feature.
Examples:
{{GNIS | 871352 | Mount Washington }}
{{GNIS |id= 871352 |name= Mount Washington }}
Results:
U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Mount Washington
U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Mount Washington
Antarctica
For GNIS pages in Antarctica, use the type=antarid parameter and the corresponding Antarctic GNIS Feature ID number:
{{GNIS|ID|Name|type=antarid}}
{{GNIS|id=ID|name=Name|type=antarid}}
Examples:
{{GNIS | 2828 | Clarke Glacier |type= antarid }}
{{GNIS |id=2828 |name= Clarke Glacier |type= antarid }}
Results:
U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Clarke Glacier
U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Clarke Glacier
Template:GNIS 2
{{GNIS 2}} generates a footnote-type link. The only required parameter is the GNIS Feature ID number (optionally, this parameter can be named id):
{{GNIS 2|ID}}
{{GNIS 2|id=ID}}
Examples:
{{GNIS 2 | 871352 }}
{{GNIS 2 |id= 871352 }}
If desired, the template can display the feature name as the anchor text, which can be specified in a second unnamed parameter (optionally, this can be named name):
{{GNIS 2|ID|Name}}
{{GNIS 2|id=ID|name=Name}}
Examples:
{{GNIS 2 | 871352 | Mount Washington }}
{{GNIS 2 |id= 871352 |name= Mount Washington }}
Results:
Mount Washington
Mount Washington
Antarctica
For GNIS pages in Antarctica, use the type=antarid parameter and the corresponding Antarctic GNIS Feature ID number.
Examples:
{{GNIS 2 | 2828 |type= antarid }}
{{GNIS 2 |id= 2828 |name= Clarke Glacier |type= antarid }}
Results:
[3]
Clarke Glacier
Template:GNIS 3
{{GNIS 3}} generates a bare URL. The only required parameter is the GNIS Feature ID number (optionally, this parameter can be named id):
{{GNIS 3|ID}}
{{GNIS 3|id=ID}}
Examples:
{{GNIS 3 | 871352 }}
{{GNIS 3 |id= 871352 }}
Results:

https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=gnispq:3:::NO::P3_FID:871352
Antarctica
For GNIS pages in Antarctica, use the type=antarid parameter and the corresponding Antarctic GNIS Feature ID number.
Examples:
{{GNIS 3 |type= antarid | 9763 }}
{{GNIS 3 |type= antarid |id= 9763 }}
Results:
https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=gnispq:5:::NO::P5_ANTAR_ID:9763

Template:GNIS 4
{{GNIS 4}} generates an external link which displays the GNIS Feature ID number. The only required parameter is the GNIS Feature ID number (optionally, this parameter can be named id):
{{GNIS 4|ID}}
{{GNIS 4|id=ID}}
Examples:
{{GNIS 4 | 871352 }}
{{GNIS 4 | id= 871352 }}
Antarctica
For GNIS pages in Antarctica, use the type=antarid parameter and the corresponding Antarctic GNIS Feature ID number.
Examples:
{{GNIS 4 | 2828 |type= antarid }}
{{GNIS 4 |id= 2828 |type= antarid }}
Instructions
- Go to http://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=gnispq
- Search for the name, location, and / or type of the feature desired, e.g., to find a mountain called 'Mt. Foo', put '
mount foo' in the Feature Name and select 'Summit' for the Feature Class. - Copy the 'ID' and insert it into {{
GNIS|...}}, {{GNIS 2|...}}, {{GNIS 3|...}}, or {{GNIS 4|...}} - You can also copy the latitude and longitude and use them in the
{{coord}}template, inserting the '|' vertical bar in-between, e.g.: 44_16_13_N 071_18_12_W →{{coord|44|16|13|N|071|18|12|W|region:US}}
Parameters
| Parameter | Required or Optional | Description |
|---|---|---|
| {1} or id= | Required | GNIS Feature ID, a number without leading zeros |
| {2} or name= | Optional | GNIS Feature Name: only in Template:GNIS (defaults to {{PAGENAME}}) and Template:GNIS2 (no default) |
| type= | Optional | antarid (for locations in Antarctica) |
