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.

:: What about case by case? Do the javascript and hovers for simple sounds, and let the article authors decide to break some sounds out of it and provide links to that IPA symbol's article —[[User:Random832|Random832]]<small>2007-01-23T22:56:12[[User talk:Random832|UT]][[Special:Contributions/Random832|C]](01/23 17:56EST)</small>
