Template:Usage of IPA templates

Wikipedia offers several templates for proper display of the IPA.

In general, instances of the IPA on a page should be enclosed in the IPA template, which forces the formatting of the text to an IPA-compatible font. If a substantial portion of a page is in the IPA, it is customary to post notice of that fact with, though each token still requires the IPA template for proper formatting.

However, 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 a broad, non-regional transcription of an English word, as when giving the pronunciation of a key word in an article, IPAEng is appropriate, as it links to Help:IPA English pronunciation key, a chart of the subset of the IPA that is relevant to English.
 * displays as.
 * the variant displays as.
 * For foreign words that are not assimilated into English, regional pronunciations of English words, and non-standard English dialects, IPA2 would be more appropriate, as it links to a more complete Help:IPA pronunciation key
 * displays as.
 * the variant appears as.
 * For phonemic transcriptions that follow Australian pronunciation, use the templates IPAAusE and pronAusE.
