Template talk:Audio-IPA

message: I was under the impression that it was bad practice to make an IPA transcription be a link because commonly a link will be underlined and this might obscure some of the IPA symbols. Stefán Ingi 13:17, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What do you mean? Of course it depends on the Wiki settings you have in your profile, but AFAIK the default view has the links not underlined. //Halibutt 22:34, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Now that is a serious argument. I created this template to avoid having too long headers, which is a serious problem in the case of Polish cities, where everybody wants to put in the pronunciation in their language, along with an ogg key, a grammatically-correct name and so on. This creates a lot of confusion and makes the header look awfully (check Gdańsk for instance and imagine the opening list of names used to be much, much longer..). Combining the IPA key with its phonetic representation seemed a fair choice, as both are logically connected. I hadn't noticed the problem you raise since (like 90% of wiki users) I don't see my links underlined and I use the template mostly for Polish names (and Polish IPA chart does not have symbols that are obscured by the underlining). However, perhaps there is a way to override the underlining? Any ideas? //Halibutt 09:07, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, class="nounderlines" will do it.  I'm not sure exactly how to put it in a template.AEuSoes1 09:49, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just adding a new span around the link with  class="nounderlines" doesn't seem to do it. hmm Stefán Ingi 10:31, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

message: We only need one template. --Kjoonlee 03:36, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The source of Audio-IPA is more compact, easier to understand, and so more maintainable. Also, it's cohesive with other audiolink templates. --Kjoonlee 03:49, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree.  The other template is ugly - the source might be compact, but the actual appearance isn't.  It looks really awful when you need to use two or three of these templates at the beginning.  Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 11:20, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree, because I think the old IPAudio is even uglier on its own, difficult to click. (Not to mention the inelegant source.) Besides, you can always use  together with Audio-IPA-nohelp if you need to use lots of audio links. --Kjoonlee 11:29, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Template redirected 

message: Why does the ipa phonetic spelling link to the audio file? The loudspeaker and the "info" link already link to the file's page. This seems triply redundant, and provides the ipa phonemes with no link to a help page that can help the reader to interpret them. This seems like a poor choice. Perhaps the "info" link should be dumped as redundant, and the ipa phoneme should link to a help page on ipa.--Srleffler (talk) 22:38, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
