Template:IPAblink

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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">...</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.

• {{IPAblink|m}} → [m]
• {{IPAblink|ɡb}} → [ɡb]

Second parameter: changes the label of the wikilink.

• {{IPAblink|m|Any text}} → [Any text]

Audio link

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

• {{IPAblink|ɽ|audio=yes}} → [ɽ] (listen)

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

• {{IPAblink|ɽ|audio=Retroflex flaps.ogg}} → [ɽ] (listen)

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

• {{IPAblink|s̬|audio=yes}} → [s̬]

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.

• {{IPAblink|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.

• {{IPAblink|xyz|errortext=Custom error message}} → Custom error message
• {{IPAblink|xyz|errortext=blank}} →
