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⟩
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.
{{IPA link|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.
