{{lua|Module:IPA symbol}}
{{SpecialChars}}
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 [[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]]-numbers.

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

:<code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|m}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; {{IPA symbol|m}}
:<code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|114}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; {{IPA symbol|114}}
:<code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|ɡ͡b}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; {{IPA symbol|ɡ͡b}}
Use <code>output=</code> to specify the type of output.
:<code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|t̪|output=name}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; {{IPA symbol|t̪|output=name}}
:<code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|t̪|output=wikipage}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; {{IPA symbol|t̪|output=wikipage}}
:<code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|t̪|output=soundfile}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; {{IPA symbol|t̪|output=soundfile}}
:<code><nowiki>{{IPA symbol|t̪|output=type}}</nowiki></code> &rarr; {{IPA symbol|t̪|output=type}}

====Possible errors====
<!--* The first parameter is required:
:{{tlx|IPA symbol|}} &rarr; <span class="error">Error using {{[[template:IPA symbol|IPA symbol]]}}: No input</span>-->

* If the input argument does not exist in the IPA symbol internal list [[Module:IPA symbol/data]], an error message is returned.
:{{tlx|IPA symbol|pʰɪk}} &rarr; {{IPA symbol|pʰɪk}}
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 {{tlx|IPA}} template will break the workings:
:{{tlx|IPA symbol|<nowiki>{{IPA|p}}</nowiki>}} &rarr; {{IPA symbol|{{IPA|p}}}}

* Optionally, an error text can be altered from the default red error message to any text (including a blank) by using the second parameter:
:{{tlx|IPA symbol|pʰɪk}} &rarr; {{IPA symbol|pʰɪk}}
:{{tlx|IPA symbol|pʰɪk|unknown}} &rarr; {{IPA symbol|pʰɪk|unknown}}
:{{tlx|IPA symbol|pʰɪk{{!}}}} &rarr; {{IPA symbol|pʰɪk|}}
<!--:Input position 3 overrules only the errormessage "no input", the other one will show unchanged.
:{{tlx|IPA symbol|{{!}}{{!}}input to be checked}} &rarr; {{IPA symbol|||input to be checked}}  (using input position #3) -->

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

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

====Editing: extending this template====
The entire list is at [[Module:IPA symbol/data]].

====Technical notes====
;Just statistics:
* As of November 2010, there are ''566'' lines (i.e. 566 recognised inputs). Of these, 181 are IPA numbers. The 566 inputs lead to 201 outputs (201 Wikipedia article names, that are also the phonetic descriptions).
* As of October 2011, there are ''726'' lines (i.e. 726 recognised inputs). The 726 inputs lead to 249 outputs (249 Wikipedia article names, that are also the phonetic descriptions).
* As of July 2012, after a cleanup, there are 940 input symbols recognised, into 277 Wikipedia article names.
* As of December 22, 2012 (before any cleanup), there are 1043 rows of input leading to 306 article names. No double names detected.
