Varieties
editThere are two columns of IPA characters, presumably denoting different varieties, but there's no indication as to what those two varieties actually are. — Ƶ§œš¹ [lɛts b̥iː pʰəˈlaɪˀt] 17:31, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
- Four years later, that still hasn't been fixed. Pinging @IvanScrooge98:. Sol505000 (talk) 10:46, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- Dang, I did not recall this, I probably never noticed this was posted in the first place. The second column is to be referred to sounds that may occur in peripheral varieties. I’m going to add a note about it. 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 12:04, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- Can we be clearer than that? We do want these guides to be helpful to editors wanting to add Ligurian transcriptions and that is a bit too vague to be helpful. — Ƶ§œš¹ [lɛts b̥iː pʰəˈlaɪˀt] 22:00, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

- The templates linking to some of these helps are mainly or largely used to transcribe local names (towns etc.), so the point is to provide a reasonably wide range of symbols for that to be possible (since the idea of these help pages in general is to help the average reader sort IPA transcriptions out); editors generally should not add IPA transcriptions unless they know what they are doing (I know this very well, I’ve been through some controversy myself). 〜イヴァンスクルージ九十八［IvanScrooge98］（会話） 22:50, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
