![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Cite gnis. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This citation template is used to cite a Feature Detail Report from the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
Usage
A search engine can be found here. Select the search type from the menu on the right. Note that links to specific records in the database will not work (as stated on the interface itself).
Parameter | Value | Notes |
---|---|---|
{{cite gnis | type = | id = | name = | accessdate = | entrydate = | ref = | links = }} |
antarid feature ID (number) feature name (text) access date entry date anchor off |
for Antarctic data required required optional seldom of interest optional optional |
For Antarctic locations, specify |type=antarid.
To disable links to the publisher, when the template is used multiple times in an article, use |links=off.
If antarid or links is specified, then named parameters should be used.
Since the GNIS site is very stable, the accessdate is not necessary.
For the usage of ref, see Template:Cite web#Anchor.
Examples
Used with named parameters:
- {{cite gnis |id= 269051 |name= Mount Whitney}} → "Mount Whitney". Geographic Names Information System. United States Geological Survey.
Used with unnamed parameters:
- {{cite gnis | 269051 | Mount Whitney | 2008-10-31 }} → "Mount Whitney". Geographic Names Information System. United States Geological Survey. Retrieved 2008-10-31.
Antarctic locations:
- {{cite gnis |type= antarid |id= 15152 |name= Mount Terror}} → "Mount Terror". Geographic Names Information System. United States Geological Survey.
Publisher links off:
- {{cite gnis |id= 269051 |name= Mount Whitney |links= off}} → "Mount Whitney". Geographic Names Information System. United States Geological Survey.
All parameters:
- {{cite gnis |type= antarid |id= 19152 |name= Raney Peak |entrydate = January 21, 2008 |accessdate= May 5, 2014 |links= off |ref= test}} → "Raney Peak". Geographic Names Information System. United States Geological Survey. January 21, 2008. Retrieved May 6, 2014.
