Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
WarningThis template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
This template uses Lua:

The template {{IPA link}} takes an IPA symbol and turns it into a link to the respective article which discusses the sound the symbol represents.

Versions with defined brackets are also available:

  • For phonetic representations, {{IPAblink}} encloses the link in square brackets: [a]
  • For phonemic representations, {{IPAslink}} encloses the link in slashes: /a/
  • For orthographic representations, {{IPAalink}} encloses the link in angle brackets: ⟨a

Another version is {{IPAplink}}, which encloses the link in neither brackets nor <span class="IPA" lang="und-fonipa">...</span>, which is useful if the link is already inside {{IPA}}, avoiding superfluous nesting of the same class.

Usage

First parameter (required): any IPA symbol.

  • {{IPAslink|m}} → /m/
  • {{IPAslink|ɡb}} → /ɡb/

Second parameter: changes the label of the wikilink.

Audio link

|audio=yes adds a link to the corresponding audio file:

  • {{IPAslink|ɽ|audio=yes}} → /ɽ/

If the value in |audio= is not "yes", "y", "true", etc., it is treated as the name of an audio file:

  • {{IPAslink|ɽ|audio=Retroflex flaps.ogg}} → /ɽ/

If the audio file is not specified at Module:IPA symbol/data, the link will not appear:

  • {{IPAslink|s̬|audio=yes}} → //

Errors

If the IPA symbol is not defined at Module:IPA symbol/data, then an error message is returned and the page will be categorized into Category:International Phonetic Alphabet pages needing attention.

  • {{IPAslink|xyz}} → /]/

The error message can be customized in |errortext=. This cancels the addition of the error category. If set to blank, the message will not appear at all.

  • {{IPAslink|xyz|errortext=Custom error message}} → /]/
  • {{IPAslink|xyz|errortext=blank}} → /]/
