Wikipedia offers several templates for proper display of IPA transcriptions.
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 {{IPA notice|lang=en}}
, 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.
For English words, in a broad, non-regional transcription, as when giving the pronunciation of a key word in an article, use templates linking to Help:IPA for English, a chart of the subset of the IPA that is relevant to English:
{{IPA-en}}
, appearing as: English pronunciation: /word/ (also /word/, English: /word/, pronounced /word/, as hereafter).{{IPAc-en}}
, which automates the conversion to IPA, so that {{IPAc-en|'|w|3r|d}}
appears as /ˈwɜrd/. This provides mouse-over links to the symbols, and is now the preferred template.For foreign 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:{{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|}}

Redirects have been created for languages which do not yet have dedicated templates. Transcriptions which use these redirects will link to {{IPA-all}}
for the time being; when a language-specific template is created the articles will be linked correctly. For example, you can use {{IPA-jv|word}}
for Javanese, but for the moment it will be redirected to {{IPA-all}}
, producing IPA: [word].

Another type of language-specific template allows you to enter ordinary letters (or conventional ASCII equivalents) from a given language for automatic conversion to phonetic symbols. Languages currently available, and examples of use, are:
