Ta‌̱mpi‌̱let:IPA link/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Ta‌̱mpi‌̱let:IPA link.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original ta‌̱mpi‌̱let page.

This template uses Lua:

Module:IPA symbol

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: Ta‌̱mpi‌̱let:IPAslink
For orthographic representations, {{IPAalink}} encloses the link in angle brackets: Ta‌̱mpi‌̱let:IPAalink

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.

{{IPA link|m}} → m
{{IPA link|ɡb}} → ɡb

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 (listen)

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}} → ɽ (listen)

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|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.

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