((cite gnis2)) generates a CS2 citation with a link to a Feature Detail Report from the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The citation is displayed as
where Place name is either the Wikipedia article name or an optionally specified name.
The CS2 citation includes a ((harvid)) anchor with format "Place_name_USGS".
The citation may be placed in the article text with code like:
Some article text.<ref>((cite gnis2|ID|Name))</ref>
It may also be placed in a list of sources near the foot of the article, and referenced from the article text by code like:
Some article text.((sfn|Name USGS))
* ((cite gnis2|ID|Name))
Note that the Harvard ref is automatically generated by the template, with an anchor "Name USGS". If a different anchor name is desired, it can be set via
* ((cite gnis2|ID|Name|ref=((harvid|Anchor))))
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.
((cite gnis2|ID)) ((cite gnis2|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.
((cite gnis2|ID|Name)) ((cite gnis2|id=ID|name=Name))
For GNIS features in Antarctica, add |type=antarid
.
((cite gnis2|ID|type=antarid)) ((cite gnis2|id=ID|type=antarid)) ((cite gnis2|ID|Name|type=antarid)) ((cite gnis2|id=ID|name=Name|type=antarid))
For feature types retired in 2021, add |type=retired
.
((cite gnis2|ID|type=retired)) ((cite gnis2|id=ID|type=retired)) ((cite gnis2|ID|Name|type=retired)) ((cite gnis2|id=ID|name=Name|type=retired))
To format the citation using CS1 style, rather than the default CS2 style, specify |mode=cs1
((cite gnis2|ID|Name|mode=cs1))
