Template:GNIS 2 generates an external link to a Feature Detail Report from the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The external link is displayed as a footnote style link ( [1] ) or with an optionally specified name as the anchor text.

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 can be specified in a second unnamed parameter (optionally, this parameter name can be named name):

{{GNIS 2|ID|Name}}
{{GNIS 2|id=ID|name=Name}}

For GNIS features in Antarctica, add |type=antarid.

{{GNIS 2|ID|type=antarid}}
{{GNIS 2|id=ID|type=antarid}}
{{GNIS 2|ID|Name|type=antarid}}
{{GNIS 2|id=ID|name=Name|type=antarid}}
