Hi, it looks like some bulk update of this template was conducted. Many are wrong or incomplete for two reasons.
Firstly
/info/en/?search=Lake_Rotoiti_(Tasman), /info/en/?search=Kaimanawa_Range the IDs are for completely unrelated features.
Using Wayback Machine I can see that the reference previously pointed to the 'Topographic names database' - this is not the same thing as the New Zealand Geographic Board's Gazetteer. Using Wayback Machine on that page, it even says precisely that in the header:
For many many other pages the references appear to be updated to have no ID. These are where the reference was bulk updated from the previous iteration of the Gazetteer that did not have unique URLs. Example:
https://web.archive.org/web/20160621122246//info/en/?search=Tangarakau_River — Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.153.203.47 ( talk) 21:20, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
This template incorrectly reports the publisher as Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) but the actual publisher is the New Zealand Geographic Board (NZGB) according to the database licence. While NZGB is hosted on the LINZ data service website, the Gazetteer is controlled by NZGB, not LINZ. Also, it is the board that is legally responsible for place name decisions, rather than the department in general. Can the template be modified accordingly? - Cameron Dewe ( talk) 10:10, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
The LINZ template does not seem to support displaying an access date.
without displaying a trailing access date note saying when the database was accessed. Can this be fixed or is there a work around? - Cameron Dewe ( talk) 10:35, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

If named parameters are used as indicated in the template instructions,
I get unexpected results for the place name,
Although the URL is correct. Also, I noticed that using a mixture of named and un-named parameters, which would be non-standard, can cause a URL error in some combinations because the first word of the place name is used in the URL in place of the id number. What is the correct usage? - Cameron Dewe ( talk) 10:59, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
|name=
but the code uses |title=
. I added |name=
as an alternative to |title=
so both will work. let me know if there is still a problem.
