French pronunciation: [{{{1}}}]
Usage[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
This template formats IPA transcriptions and links them to Help:IPA/French. The transcription should match the conventions of that key; for narrower dialect transcriptions, use {{IPA-all}}, which links to a more complete IPA key.
The first cell in the template is for the transcription, and a second optional cell is a switch that controls the lede. With no second value, the lede French pronunciation: appears:
{{IPA-fr|o}}→ French pronunciation: [o]{{IPA-fr|o|pron}}→ pronounced [o]{{IPA-fr|o|lang}}→ French: [o]{{IPA-fr|o|IPA}}→ IPA: [o]{{IPA-fr|o|local}}→ locally [o]{{IPA-fr|o|}}→ [o]
Any of these may be combined with a sound file in an optional third cell:
For the default lede, however, the placeholder ‹-› is required in the second cell:
Usage of IPA pronunciation templates[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
Wikipedia offers several templates for proper display of IPA transcriptions.
IPA font[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
In general, IPA symbols on a page should be enclosed in the {{IPA}} template, which formats the text in an IPA-producing font. If a substantial portion of a page uses IPA, it is customary to post notice of that fact with {{Contains special characters|IPA}}, though each token still requires the {{IPA}} template for proper formatting.
If there are not enough occurrences to warrant a notice, then consider a template that links to an IPA key for the first instance of the IPA on a page or section.
English words[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
For English words, in a broad, non-regional transcription, as when giving the pronunciation of a key word in an article, use {{IPAc-en}}, which links to Help:IPA/English, a chart of the subset of the IPA that is relevant to English, and automates the conversion to IPA, so that {{IPAc-en|'|w|3:r|d}} appears as /ˈwɜːrd/. This provides mouse-over links to the symbols, and is now the preferred template.
For a specific transcription in a regional variety, use {{IPA-endia}} or {{IPA-all}}.
Non-English words[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
For words that are not assimilated into English, regional pronunciations of English words, and non-standard English dialects, use templates linking to the more general Help:IPA chart, containing all major IPA symbols:
- {{IPA-all}}, appearing as: IPA: [word]. Or:
- For specific languages, there may be dedicated IPA keys for standardized transcription. There are several options for their display. The first cell includes the ISO code of the language; the second is the transcription; the third keys an introductory phrase; and the fourth is space for a sound file. Using the French word eau [o] as an example, we have the default format:
{{IPA-fr|o}}→ French pronunciation: [o]
- Or the word "pronounced" can be used as the introduction:
{{IPA-fr|o|pron}}→ pronounced [o]
- Language name only:
{{IPA-fr|o|lang}}→ French: [o]
- "IPA" only:
{{IPA-fr|o|IPA}}→ IPA: [o]
- Link only:
{{IPA-fr|o|}}→ [o]
- Any of these may be combined with a sound file:
- For the default introductory phrase, however, a placeholder such as “-” is required:
Supported languages and templates[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
Languages without dedicated keys[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
Templates have been created for languages which do not yet have dedicated key pages. Transcriptions which use these templates will link to Help:IPA for the time being; when a language-specific key is created the templates will be linked accordingly. For example, you can use {{IPA-jv|word}} for Javanese, but for the moment it will link to Help:IPA, producing Javanese pronunciation: [word].

Conversion to IPA[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
The template {{x2i}} takes X-SAMPA symbols (ASCII equivalents of IPA symbols) and converts them to IPA.
Other language-specific templates allow you to enter ordinary letters (or conventional ASCII equivalents) in place of IPA characters, and they will be automatically converted to the phonetic symbols that are used to transcribe the language. The templates that are currently available are shown below, with examples:

What is template data?[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
Template data is the standardized description of a template, used by the default VisualEditor, the optional 2017 wikitext editor and other tools to improve the template-editing experience for the user. Both VisualEditor and the 2017 wikitext editor include a wizard to edit templates, but for the wizard to be most useful, it needs to present specific information to the user about each template, such as a short description of the template's purpose and its parameters. This information is codified formally (by any wiki editor) using template data.
Editing without template data[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
Without template data, each parameter needs to be added manually when inserting a new template.
No information is provided about what the value of the parameter should be.
Editing with template data[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
With template data, a list of supported parameters (and their description) is provided for the template.
Template data provides context for each parameter, and makes it much easier for users to modify templates.
Adding template data[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
Anyone can help by adding template data to templates (particularly high-profile ones, such as infoboxes) so that they are easier to edit in VisualEditor. The following is a minimal example, placed on a template's documentation page:
<templatedata>{
"description": "insert description here",
"params": {
"first parameter": {
"label": "x",
"description": "x",
"type": "string",
"suggested": true,
"autovalue": "derived automatic value",
"default": "default value",
"required": false
}
}
}</templatedata>
You can also add or edit template data using a GUI, by pressing the following button which appears at the top of the edit page:
The template data tutorial explains in detail how to add template data information to a template.
Adding suggested values for parameters[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
The parameter property suggestedvalues lets you define a list of parameter values to be shown to VisualEditor users in a dropdown for easy selection. This can be done either directly in JSON or using the TemplateData editor with no coding required. Both methods are explained in detail below.
Once the values have been added to template data, the VisualEditor will display them in a combo box (a dropdown into which users can also enter a custom value). The user selects the desired value by clicking on it. If the list of values is long - for example, a list of a country’s states - the user can begin typing in the field, whereupon the list will be filtered to show only values containing the typed text. To change an entered value, the user must simply clear the field, and the full dropdown list will appear again. If the user needs a value not included in the list (for example, "message in a bottle") they can type it in manually.
For suggested values to be displayed in the VisualEditor, the parameter’s type must be set to one of the following options:
- content
- line
- string
- number
- unknown
- unbalanced wikitext.
Other types (file, page, template, user, date, boolean, URL) are not currently supported because they have special functionalities in the VisualEditor already (such as autocomplete) which would interfere with the dropdown menu for suggested values in the VisualEditor.
Adding suggested values for parameters in wikitext[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
To add suggested values to any parameter type, add the new property “suggestedvalues” to the parameter in JSON. The “suggestedvalues” attribute must be a list of strings.
An example might look like this:
"media_type": {
"label": "Type of media",
"example": "Newspaper",
"type": "string",
"description": "In what medium was the article published?",
"suggestedvalues": [
"Journal",
"Book",
"Newspaper",
"Magazine"
]
}
Adding suggested values for parameters with the template data editor[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
For the parameter types listed above, you can add suggested values using the template data editor.
Step 1. Click on "Manage TemplateData".
Step 2. Click on the name of the parameter you want to add suggested values to.
Step 3. If it’s not already, set the type of the parameter to one of the following: content, line, string, number, unknown or unbalanced wikitext. A new input field "Suggested values" will appear. If the parameter is already set to one of these types, the input field should already be visible.
Step 4. Type in the suggested value(s), including any spaces and special characters, and press enter to add it to the list.
Here you can see an example of how to add suggested values in the TemplateData editor.
