 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:IPAslink (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
 | This 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
[edit]First parameter (required): any IPA symbol.
Second parameter: changes the label of the wikilink.
{{IPAslink|m|Any text}}→ /Any text/
- Note: For the exact opposite, in other words to change the label of a wikilink and contain an IPA template, use
{{IPA}}. However, it may display incorrectly, see Template:IPA#Issue with linking.
Audio link
|audio=yes adds a link to the corresponding audio file:
If the value in |audio= is not "yes", "y", "true", etc., it is treated as the name of an audio file:
If the audio file is not specified at Module:IPA symbol/data, the link will not appear:
{{IPAslink|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.
{{IPAslink|xyz}}→ Error using {{IPA symbol}}: "xyz" not found in list
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}}→ Custom error message{{IPAslink|xyz|errortext=blank}}→
