Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Rudyard Kipling's work Stalky & Co. It can be used to create a link to online editions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• "Stalky" in The Windsor Magazine (December 1898) – this story was not included in the collected edition.
• 1st collected edition (1899).

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |chapter= or |story= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the story "Stalky", specify |story=Stalky. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st collected edition of the work.
• |1= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified for the template to determine the name of the story quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.

• |column= or |columns= – if quoting from the story "Stalky", the column number(s) quoted from, either |column=1 or |column=2. If quoting from both columns, either omit this parameter or specify |columns=1–2, using an en dash between the column numbers.
• |2=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the work.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
