It is helpful for Wikipedia readers to include pronunciation for words with unusual or difficult spelling. For our English Wikipedia this is especially helpful for foreign names and locations.
The {{Pronunciation needed}} template shows as [pronunciation?] and is used to request the audio or textual pronunciation. This template puts pages into Category:Articles needing pronunciation.
For a guide to adding pronunciations to Wikipedia articles, see the {{IPA}} template.
