Template:RQ:Kipling Something of Myself/documentation

Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Rudyard Kipling's work Something of Myself (1st edition, 1937). It can be used to create a link to an online edition of the work at the Internet Archive.

Parameters

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from. The following parameter values will be displayed as shown:

Parameter value	Result
A Very Young Person	A Very Young Person: 1865–1878
The School before Its Time	The School before Its Time: 1878–1882
Seven Years' Hard	Seven Years’ Hard

• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: 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 link to the online version of the work.

• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – a passage to be quoted from the book.
• |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.
