U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: GNIS
These are templates to generate links to the United States Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System.
The required parameter is just the ID number (optionally, the parameter can be named id) and the template then uses the article title as the anchor text:
* {{gnis|ID}}
To have the link text be other than the article name, use second parameter (optionally, it can be named name):
* {{gnis|ID|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.
Antarctica
For GNIS pages in Antarctica, use the type=antarid parameter and the corresponding Antarctic GNIS ID.
* {{gnis|ID|Name|type=antarid}}
This template works the same as {{gnis}}, but simply produces a footnote-type link, without any anchor text.
The required parameter is just the ID number (optionally, the parameter can be named id):
{{gnis2|ID}}
{{gnis2|871352}}
Result:
Antarctica
For GNIS pages in Antarctica, use the type=antarid parameter and the corresponding Antarctic GNIS ID.
{{gnis2|ID|type=antarid}}
Sample:
{{gnis2|9763|type=antarid}}
Result:
The required parameter is just the ID number (optionally, the parameter can be named id):
* {{gnis3|ID}}
It's meant to be used mainly within other templates (see sample 2).
For GNIS pages in Antarctica, use the type=antarid parameter and the corresponding Antarctic GNIS ID.
Sample 1

* {{gnis3|871352}}

Detailed instructions
- Go to http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnispublic/
- 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|...}} - or {{
gnis2|...}}
- {{
- While you're at it, you can copy the latitude and longitude and use them in {{
coord|...}}, inserting "|"s: e.g. "441613N 0711812W" → {{coord|44|16|13|N|071|18|12|W|region:US}}
