This module allows characters used in {{IPA}} to be tracked. The tracking is language-dependent.
For example, {{IPA|en|/wɜrd/}} → IPA(key): /wɜrd/ will add the tracking template IPA/en/plain r.
Below is the list of tracking templates (from which the Wiktionary:Tracking/IPA part has been cut off) with their "WhatLinksHere" link and the pattern or patterns that they track. For an explanation of patterns, see Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual § Patterns on MediaWiki.
local export = {}
--[[
symb is what is tracked. It can be a literal symbol or a Lua pattern.
If it is a table, tracking is added for any of the symbols in the list.
cat is the subtemplate that is added to the default path "IPA/" + language code + "/".
