Template:IPA link/doc

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.

{{IPAalink}}, {{IPAblink}} and {{IPAslink}} are versions with defined angular "⟨...⟩", square "[...]" or slash "/.../" brackets, respectively.

Usage

First parameter (required): any IPA symbol.

• {{IPA link|m}} → m
• {{IPA link|gb}} → gb

Second parameter: changes the label of the wikilink.

• {{IPA link|m|Any text}} → Any text

Audio link

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

• {{IPA link|ɽ|audio=yes}} → ɽ ()

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

• {{IPA link|ɽ|audio=Retroflex flaps.ogg}} → ɽ ()

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

• {{IPA link|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.

• {{IPA link|tt}} →

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.

• {{IPA link|tt|errortext=Custom error message}} → Custom error message
• {{IPA link|tt|errortext=blank}} →

No description.
