Fyrimynd:Infobox IPA/doc

Frá Wikipedia, hin frælsa alfrøðin

This template provides a simple conversion table from an IPA symbol to a Wikipedia article name.

The resulting article name should exist. The input symbol may be multiple characters, or may be a sequence of IPA-numbers.

This template has one parameter that is mandatory. The parameter can be an IPA symbol, or an IPA-number. Do not use template {{IPA}} for the input character.

{{IPA symbol|m}} → bilabial nasal
{{IPA symbol|114}} → bilabial nasal
{{IPA symbol|ɡ͡b}} → voiced labial-velar stop

Possible errors

[rætta wikitekst]
  • If the input argument does not exist in the IPA symbol internal list, an error message is returned.
{{IPA symbol|pʰɪk}}Error using {{IPA symbol}}: "pʰɪk" not found in list

This may indicate that you have mistyped the input, or that the translation is not (yet) present in the IPA symbol list. An editor can add the link.

  • Using the {{IPA}} template will break the workings:
{{IPA symbol|{{IPA|p}}}}Error using {{IPA symbol}}: "p" not found in list
  • Optionally, an error text can be altered from the default red error message to any text (including a blank) by using the second parameter:
{{IPA symbol|pʰɪk}}Error using {{IPA symbol}}: "pʰɪk" not found in list
{{IPA symbol|pʰɪk|unknown}} → unknown
{{IPA symbol|pʰɪk|}}

Pages with an error are listed in Category:International Phonetic Alphabet pages needing attention.

Input check

[rætta wikitekst]

In page Template:IPA symbol/check all all current inputoptions are listed and checked. It should not contain red links. Page Template:IPA symbol/check audio shows which audio file is associated (automatically) to the pages.

  • Its direct use is probably not too meaningful, but it can be useful inside other templates, e.g. {{IPA link}}. It is a meta-template.

Editing: extending this template
