| This is a documentation subpage for Template:GEOnet. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
{{GEOnet}} provides an external link to a specific geographic feature name from the GEOnet Names Server (GNS), published by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). The template uses the GEOnet Feature__Unique_Feature_ID (Unique Feature Identifier or UFI).
Intended to interface with the JavaScripts at: http://gnswww.nga.mil/geonames/Gazetteer/Search/ Which now apparently requires a NGA login account?
NOTE: The external links generated by this template no longer work. Please use {{GEOnet2}} instead, which requires a Name_GUID instead of a UFI.
Usage

UFI(required) – a Unique_Feature_ID, Feature__Unique_Feature_ID in the http://gnswww.nga.mil/geonames/Gazetteer/Search/Results.jsp URL.link-label-name(optional) – name used in the reference link, otherwise defaults to {{PAGENAME}}.
