This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote Rudyard Kipling's works The Jungle Book (1st edition, 2nd printing, 1894) and The Second Jungle Book (1st edition, 1895; and another 1895 edition published by The Century Company). It can be used to create a link to online editions of the work at the Internet Archive:

• The Jungle Book:
  • Version 1 (used as the default as it is generally a better scan, but missing pages 95–99).
  • Version 2 (used to supply the missing pages 95–99).
• The Second Jungle Book:
  • 1st edition (1895).
  • Century Company edition (1895).

The template takes the following parameters:

• |book= – mandatory in some cases: if quoting from The Second Jungle Book, specify |book=2.
• |version= – mandatory in some cases: in the 1st edition of The Second Jungle Book, due to an error the ending of the story "The King's Ankus" is missing. If quoting from this part of the story, specify |version=Century to instruct the template to use the Century Company's 1895 edition of the work.
• |1=, |poem=, |story=, or |chapter= – the name of the "chapter" (poem or short story) quoted from. Where an English Wikipedia article about the poem or story exists, the template automatically links to it as indicated in the following table:

For help with linking other Wikipedia articles to the template, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

• |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=110–111.
  • 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 link to the online version of the work.

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