Template talk:Ʒ
This is an example of my '''IPA Quickhelp Templates''' idea for templates to use rollover "status text" to make IPA more comprehensible for beginners. The idea is that each letter is a link. When the user rolls over the link, they should get a short (under 15-word) jargon-free text explaining how to pronounce that phoneme. This links to a redirect which links to the jargon-titled article about that sound.

(contracted; show full)t out of having underlines.  On the other hand, who's going to go to the trouble of typing/pasting stuff into their monobook.css file?  Or do you mean to have this as an in-built feature of the template so that everyone sees the underline and the very dark blue?  If it's the latter, then let's not have the underline.  Random832 suggests using a background.  This is a better idea but is it necessary?  Wouldn't a different colour be enough? [[User:Jimp|Jimp]] 04:47, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

:Something strange seems to be happening when I try using this template more than a couple of times in the one place.  For eample "The first letter of the alphabet is '''A''' or in lower case that would be '''a'''.  The second letter is '''B''' it's lower case form is '''b'''.  Then comes '''C''' or '''c'''.  Then '''D''' or '''d''' then '''E''' or '''e''' then '''F''' or '''f''' then '''G''' or '''g''' then '''H''' or '''h''' then '''I''' or '''i''' then '''J''' or '''j''' then '''K''' or '''k''' then '''L''' or '''l''' then '''M''' or '''m''' then '''n''' or '''n''' then '''O''' or '''o''' then '''P''' or '''p''' then '''Q''' or '''q''' then '''R''' or '''r''' then '''S''' or '''s''' then '''T''' or '''t''' then '''U''' or '''u''' then '''V''' or '''v''' then '''W''' or '''w''' then '''X''' or '''x''' then '''Y''' or '''y''' then finally '''Z''' or '''z'''."

::::NOTE: To prevent the template bufer from overflowing, I removed the templates from this post and replaced them with bold text.
