Usage edit

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Rudyard Kipling's work Under the Deodars (1st edition, 1889; and Edinburgh de Luxe edition, 1909). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at the HathiTrust Digital Library and the Internet Archive:

Parameters edit

The template takes the following parameters:

  • |year=mandatory in some cases: if quoting from the Edinburgh de Luxe edition (1909), specify |year=1909.
  • |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 to have the template determine the name of the story quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.
  • |2=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted.
  • |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.
