--- For Antarctic data Required Required Optional |
For Antarctic locations, specify type=antarid.
To disable links to the publisher, when the template is used multiple times in an article, use links=off.
If antarid or links is specified, then named parameters must be used.
Since the GNIS site is very stable, the accessdate is not necessary.
