Template:IPAblink

From Elite Dangerous Wiki
Template documentation follows
Note: the template above may sometimes be partially or fully invisible.
Visit "Template:IPAblink/doc" to edit its documentation if it is available. (How does this work?)

Template:High-use

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⟩ (for graphic representations without link to any sound, see template:grapheme)

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.

  • {{IPAblink|m}} → [m]
  • {{IPAblink|ɡb}} → [ɡb]

Second parameter: changes the label of the wikilink.

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:

  • {{IPAblink|ɽ|audio=yes}} → [ɽ] Audio file "Retroflex flap.ogg" not found

If the value in |audio= is not "yes", "y", "true", etc., it is treated as the name of an audio file:

  • {{IPAblink|ɽ|audio=Retroflex flaps.ogg}} → [ɽ] Audio file "Retroflex flaps.ogg" not found

If the audio file is not specified at Module:IPA symbol/data, the link will not appear:

  • {{IPAblink|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.

  • {{IPAblink|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.

  • {{IPAblink|xyz|errortext=Custom error message}} → Custom error message
  • {{IPAblink|xyz|errortext=blank}} →
