Template:IPA link/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:IPA link. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | 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">...</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.
{{IPA link|m}}→ Template:IPA link{{IPA link|ɡb}}→ Template:IPA link
Second parameter: changes the label of the wikilink.
{{IPA link|m|Any text}}→ Template:IPA link
Audio link
|audio=yes adds a link to the corresponding audio file:
{{IPA link|ɽ|audio=yes}}→ Template:IPA link
If the value in |audio= is not "yes", "y", "true", etc., it is treated as the name of an audio file:
{{IPA link|ɽ|audio=Retroflex flaps.ogg}}→ Template:IPA link
If the audio file is not specified at Module:IPA symbol/data, the link will not appear:
{{IPA link|s̬|audio=yes}}→ Template:IPA link
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|xyz}}→ Template:IPA link
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|xyz|errortext=Custom error message}}→ Template:IPA link{{IPA link|xyz|errortext=blank}}→ Template:IPA link
