The field id must be specified. The ID can be derived from the URL for the feature you want to cite. The ID number will follow the keyword id= in the URL. As an example, here is the URL for Castle Geyser. The ID number is marked in bold:

http://www.rcn.montana.edu/resources/features/feature.aspx?nav=11&id=9910

It is recommended that the name field be specified (which by default is the pagename) since the title of the Wiki article might change in the future.
