U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: {{{name}}}
Template:GNIS generates an external link to a Feature Detail Report from the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The link is displayed as "U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Name", where Name is either the Wikipedia article name ({{PAGENAME}}) or an optionally specified name.
Usage
[संपादन करीं]The only required parameter is the GNIS Feature ID number (optionally, this parameter can be named id). The template then uses the Wikipedia article name as part of the anchor text.
{{GNIS|ID}}
{{GNIS|id=ID}}
If desired, a feature name other than the article name can be specified in a second unnamed parameter (optionally, this can be named name). This can be used if the article name contains disambiguation or when the GNIS feature name is different than the article name.
{{GNIS|ID|Name}}
{{GNIS|id=ID|name=Name}}
For GNIS features in Antarctica, add |type=antarid.
{{GNIS|ID|type=antarid}}
{{GNIS|id=ID|type=antarid}}
{{GNIS|ID|Name|type=antarid}}
{{GNIS|id=ID|name=Name|type=antarid}}
