Purpose

The external link template, GeoFinder, enables access to the database of GeoFinder.ch, a geographic database focusing on mountains.

{{GeoFinder|ID|Name}}

the ID (mandatory parameter)
an optional, alternative name for the mountain, hill or range in case the lemma in WP does not match the name at GeoFinder.ch. This name is only for Wikipedia purposes, not for searching.

The template may be used as a reference <ref> and as an external link.

Template with parameters	Display
`{{GeoFinder\|5000}}`	GeoFinder on GeoFinder.ch
`{{GeoFinder\|5000\|Matterhorn}}`	Matterhorn on GeoFinder.ch

The ID can be found by searching in GeoFinder.ch:

From the search results, the desired "point of interest" must be chosen and the related page opened.
For the Matterhorn, the related page would be e.g. https://geofinder.ch/5000
The ID can be extracted from the URL, for the Matterhorn that would therefore be https://geofinder.ch/5000
This results in {{GeoFinder | 5000}} or {{GeoFinder | 5000 | Matterhorn}}

Of course not all mountains are listed at GeoFinder.ch.
