This template provides a quick and easy method of directly linking to specific pages in the New South Wales Geographical Names Register that is maintained by the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales as well as providing a standardised format for the reference. It was created after the Geographical Names Board reorganised its website in mid-2013, breaking 1,400+ outgoing links.
The Geographical Names Register of NSW is a comprehensive database of registered place names in New South Wales, Australia and is used in hundreds of Australian related articles. Use of this template means that should the Geographical Names Board change urls or page titles at some time only this template will require updating rather than requiring a need to change multiple articles.
Note: None of the parameters should be capitalised, in order to avoid the article being tagged as having a broken citation.
