I've been looking at this as the last of the sub-templates of {{tl|zh-full}} to be merged, and have posted details on its talk page, [[Template_talk:Zh-IPA]]. Posting here as this is the much more watched page/the main discussion page for these templates.--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small><sup>[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 01:08, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
== Italics pinyin ==
could this be reversed? Pinyin in italic text makes the page looks to busy and uneasy.--[[User:Wester|Wester]] ([[User talk:Wester|talk]]) 16:59, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
:The template has italicized pinyin since 2009. It's in line with common practice in academic writing and the usual treatment of foreign text in Wikipedia. [[User talk:Kanguole|Kanguole]] 19:46, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
:It would be useful if you could link to the article or articles you think have this problem. In my experience when articles look too busy with e.g. Chinese and Romanisations it's often down to other causes. Too much Chinese is a common one, for e.g. linked items which don't need Chinese and pinyin given (readers can just follow the link). Or the Chinese and Romanisations could be moved into an infobox and minimised in the text. Finally the {{para|labels|no}} option can be used to dramatically de-clutter second and subsequent uses of the template.--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small><sup>[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 20:53, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
