ഫലകം:GNIS/doc
This is a documentation subpage for ഫലകം:GNIS. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original ഫലകം page. |
These are templates that generate external links to the United States Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System.
Template:GNIS
തിരുത്തുകTemplate:GNIS generates an external link to a GNIS page. The only required parameter is the GNIS Feature ID number (optionally, this parameter can be named id
) and the template then uses the article title as the anchor text:
{{GNIS|ID}} {{GNIS|id=ID}}
To have the link text be other than the article name, use a second parameter (optionally, this can be named name
):
{{GNIS|ID|Name}} {{GNIS|id=ID|name=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
തിരുത്തുകFor GNIS pages in Antarctica, use the type=antarid
parameter and the corresponding Antarctic GNIS ID:
{{GNIS|ID|Name|type=antarid}} {{GNIS|id=ID|name=Name|type=antarid}}
Template:GNIS 2
തിരുത്തുക{{GNIS 2}}
generates a footnote-type link. The only required parameter is the GNIS Feature ID number (optionally, this parameter can be named id
):
{{GNIS 2|ID}} {{GNIS 2|id=ID}}
If desired, the template can display the feature name as the anchor text, which must be specified in a second unnamed parameter (optionally, this can be named name
):
{{GNIS|ID|Name}} {{GNIS|id=ID|name=Name}}
Examples:
{{GNIS 2|871352}} {{GNIS 2|871352|Mount Washington}}
Results:
[1]
Mount Washington
Antarctica
തിരുത്തുകFor GNIS pages in Antarctica, use the type=antarid
parameter and the corresponding Antarctic GNIS ID.
Examples:
{{GNIS 2|2828|type=antarid}} {{GNIS 2|2828|Clarke Glacier|type=antarid}}
Results:
[2]
Clarke Glacier
Template:GNIS 3
തിരുത്തുക{{GNIS 3}}
generates a bare URL. The only required parameter is the GNIS Feature ID number:
{{GNIS 3|ID}}
Example:
{{GNIS 3|871352}}
Result:
https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=gnispq:3:::NO::P3_FID:871352
Antarctica
തിരുത്തുകFor GNIS pages in Antarctica, use the type=antarid
parameter and the corresponding Antarctic GNIS ID.

Template:GNIS 4
തിരുത്തുക{{GNIS 4}}
generates an external link which displays the GNIS Feature ID number. The only required parameter is ID number (optionally, this parameter can be named id
):
{{GNIS 4|ID}} {{GNIS 4|id=ID}}
Example:
{{GNIS 4|871352}}
Result:

Result:
2828
