Template talk:Vowels

Too big

I think this template is a bit too big to fit at the top of the article. It's crowding the lead and fighting for space with the smaller IPA-template. Could we restyle it to make it go in the center (I'm not sure how to do this) and stick it down at the bottom, just like the consonant template?

Subst

At a minimum, subst'ing in the IPA vowel chart will reduce the width (addressing the earlier comment here) and decouple the logically separate tasks of navigating the vowel articles versus describing the IPA vowel symbols. Subst'ing was also discussed in the context of navigating vowels that don't have dedicated IPA symbols, at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2008 November 16#Template:Near-close_central_unrounded_vowel.

Vowel length

Per this edit summary, I'm not convinced that we need to mention vowel length at all. Partly because it's not featured but also partly because it's not always true. It's also possible to feature longer vowels by doubling the vowel. — Ƶ§œš¹ _{[aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi]} 05:36, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
