The template {{IPAlink}}automatically wikilink an IPA symbol to the respective sound article. IPAlink displays the bare IPA
symbol. Showing IPA defined brackets like // is an input option.

{{IPAalink}}, {{IPAblink}} and {{IPAslink}} are earlier versions with predefined angular <>, square [] or slash // brackets. The conversion table is not defined in this template, but inherited from {{IPAsym}}.

  • First parameter or ipa symbol= (required): Any IPA symbol, or its IPA number.
  • {{IPAlink|m}}m
  • {{IPAlink|ɡb}}ɡb
  • {{IPAlink|301}}Error using {{IPA symbol}}: "301" not found in list
Label
  • label=, or second parameter: changes the label of the wikilink.
When set to blank, label=|, no label is showsn and the IPA symbol name is shown. (Note: showsymbol= does the same, but is deprecated)
Brackets
  • bracket=, or third parameter: set IPA bracket. Options are: / [ < (none). Default is none.
  • {{IPAlink|m||<}}<m>
  • {{IPAlink|301||<}}Error using {{IPA symbol}}: "301" not found in list
  • {{IPAlink|m||[}}[m]
  • {{IPAlink|ɡb||[}}[ɡb]
  • {{IPAlink|ɡb||/}}/ɡb/
Error situation

If the IPA symbol is not defined in the IPAsym table, then an error message is returned.

{{IPAlink|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 {{IPAsym}} table.

Option "showsymbol" deprecated (use label= or 2nd unnamed parameter, preferred)

The template can take the extra input like "showsymbol=A", and then show that symbol, while linking to the appropriate article. The symbol to be shown can also be the second, unnamed parameter.

{{IPAlink|m|showsymbol=Anytext}}Anytext
{{IPAlink|ɽ͡r|showsymbol=*}}*
  • {{IPAlink|m|/|name=yes}}/ Voiced bilabial nasal

In the short form:

{{IPAlink
|
|
|
| name      =
| errortext =
| showsymbol=
}}

Equally, the longer including optional names:

{{IPAlink
| ipa symbol= <!-- or 1st unnamed parameter-->
| label     = <!-- or 2nd unnnamed paramter -->
| bracket   = <!-- or 3rd unnamed parameter -->
| name      = <!-- yes/no -->
| errortext =
| showsymbol= <!-- deprecated, use label= ==>
}}
