Invalid examples
The provided examples are invalid. For example,  gives .  gives . They should be changed to reflect what we should expect. Theklan (talk) 21:24, 10 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Good point, I've made some updates (for what it's worth,  is enabled on this project currently) TheresNoTime-WMF (talk) 13:36, 11 July 2023 (UTC)


 * The examples cross-posted into all WMF wikis are faulty too:




 * @User:TheresNoTime-WMF What is the point with  ? The documentation in incomprehensible. Is it enabled on all WMF wikis? Taylor 49 (talk) 17:53, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

"i" too small
The superscripted "i" which links to the file description page is too small: German alphabet. Is this "i" hardwired or can it be changed? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:45, 31 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree with you, this is an accessibility problem. I strongly recommended against it at T324102 but they weren't having it. Perhaps we should open a phab ticket. Each wiki can customize it at MediaWiki:Phonos-attribution-icon, but it doesn't seem to accept wikicode, which compounds the problem. Nardog (talk) 15:58, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Filed T346195. Nardog (talk) 01:10, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Agree and strong support. Changing the submicroscopic "i" to "ⓘ" is an improvement. But please add an attribute allowing to override this new "(i)", allowing for empty string to suppress it (so that separate wikitext can be used in order to link directly to Commons).

 * Well emptying MediaWiki:Phonos-attribution-icon seems to help but needs sysop rights. Taylor 49 (talk) 17:29, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

One more absurd bug -- IPA only
If i feed in only the attribute "ipa" but NOT "file" then I get Category:Pages with Phonos rendering errors. The effect is directly observable at Help:Extension:Phonos. Taylor 49 (talk) 21:08, 16 September 2023 (UTC)


 * @User:UOzurumba (WMF): Is Phonos intended to be used for IPA only? Help:Extension:Phonos suggests YES ... but the outcome is strange. Taylor 49 (talk) 21:12, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

And another one
Phonos redirects from OGG Vorbis files to MP5. The effect is directly observable at Help:Extension:Phonos. This is wrong, OGG Vorbis is still the way more free format and should NOT be converted into MP5. T346508 Taylor 49 (talk) 22:27, 16 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I think you mean MP3, which like OGG is also non-proprietary and has broader support. I've also replied at T346508. Please let us know how you feel given this new information. &mdash; MusikAnimal  talk  17:49, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
