Template:IPA link
[[|]]
| This page contains special characters. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols. |
The template {{IPA link}} creates a wikilink from an IPA symbol to the respective phonetic article. IPA link displays the bare IPA symbol. Showing IPA defined brackets like "/…/" is an input option.
The conversion list, from symbol to article name, is not defined in this template, but inherited from {{IPA symbol}}.
{{IPAalink}}, {{IPAblink}} and {{IPAslink}} are versions with defined angular "⟨…⟩", square "[…]" or slash "/…/" brackets, respectively.
Usage
- First parameter or
ipa symbol=(required): any IPA symbol or its IPA number, respectively. {{IPA link|m}}→ [[|m]]{{IPA link|ɡb}}→ [[|ɡb]]{{IPA link|301}}→ [[|301]]
Brackets
bracket=, or second or third parameter: set IPA bracket. Options are:/,[, and<. Default is none. The angle bracket input can be input as < from a regular keyboard; the output displayed is the opening U+27E8 ⟨ MATHEMATICAL LEFT ANGLE BRACKET (HTML⟨⧼dot-separator⧽Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".) and the closing U+27E9 ⟩ MATHEMATICAL RIGHT ANGLE BRACKET (HTML⟩⧼dot-separator⧽Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".).{{IPA link|m|<}}→ ⟨[[|m]]⟩{{IPA link|m||<}}→ ⟨[[|m]]⟩{{IPA link|301||<}}→ ⟨[[|301]]⟩{{IPA link|m||[}}→ [[[|m]]]{{IPA link|ɡb||[}}→ [[[|ɡb]]]{{IPA link|ɡb||/}}→ /[[|ɡb]]/
Label
label=, or second or third parameter: adds a label to the wikilink.{{IPA link|m|label=Any text}}→ [[|Any text]]{{IPA link|m|Any text}}→ [[|Any text]]{{IPA link|m||Any text}}→ [[|Any text]]{{IPA link|ɡb|label=}}→ [[|ɡb]]
(Note: showsymbol= does the same, but it is deprecated.)
Combined:
{{IPA link|ɡb|bracket=<|label=Any text}}→ [[|Any text]]{{IPA link|ɡb|Any text|/}}→ /[[|Any text]]/{{IPA link|ɡb|<|Any text}}→ ⟨[[|Any text]]⟩
Direct page:
The target page can be set (overridden) by using direct page=:
{{IPA link|ʘ|<}}→ ⟨[[|ʘ]]⟩{{IPA link|ʘ|direct page=Bilabial clicks|<}}→ ⟨ʘ⟩
Audio link:
audio=yes adds a link to the corresponding audio file:
{{IPA link|ɽ|[|audio=yes}}→ [[[|ɽ]]]
If the value in audio= is a media file that exists, it will then link to that file instead:
{{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]]]
Error situation
If the IPA symbol is not defined in the {IPA symbol} table, then an error message is returned.
{{IPA link|pʰɪk}}→ [[|pʰɪk]]
The latter is normally more an example of accidental misuse than intentional use, or it could be a sign that a symbol is missing from the {{IPA symbol}} table.
Option "showsymbol" deprecated (use label= or a second unnamed parameter, preferably)
The template can take the extra input like showsymbol=A, and then display that symbol, while also linking to the appropriate article. The symbol to be shown can also be the second unnamed parameter.
{{IPA link|m|showsymbol=Anytext}}→ [[|Anytext]]{{IPA link|ɽ͡r|showsymbol=*}}→ [[|
- ]]
Option name
The name=yes parameter provides a display of the name of the phoneme (a function of {{IPA symbol}}) to the right of the displayed symbol for the phoneme, as shown in the example below:
{{IPA link|m|/|name=yes}}→ /[[|m]]/
Full parameter list
In the short form:
{{IPA link
|
|
|
| name =
| errortext =
| showsymbol=
}}
Equally, the longer including optional names:
{{IPA link
| ipa symbol= <!-- or 1st unnamed parameter-->
| label = <!-- or 2nd unnamed paramter -->
| bracket = <!-- or 3rd unnamed parameter -->
| name = <!-- yes/no -->
| errortext =
| showsymbol= <!-- deprecated, use label= -->
}}
Known issue
- The output should be enveloped in {{nowrap}}.
