Nautical
I'm not sure how this is for Wikipedia rather than Wiktionary, but I'd also expect that if should cover the nautical meaning, typically a post with an "eye" in one end that carries a rope. - Jmabel | Talk 03:29, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- es:Candelero (náutica) and stanchion are not the same things. Peter Horn User talk 14:58, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
Railway
This artical needs railway stanchions added, there are hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of them around the world supprting the overhead power lines. 220.237.117.136 (talk) 02:17, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Good question. I can not find a good annswer in overhead line, except for post. Peter Horn User talk 15:14, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
- That would be a traction current pylon, too tall to be called a stanchion. Peter Horn User talk 21:35, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
Ice Hockey

Nautical use?
According to candelero (náutica), stanchions are only on ships
