Class furigana

This template uses the "furigana" CSS class. Where is it defined? --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 06:22, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Text above text

In the example the furigana すべ placed above 全 .. I am wondering if anyone knows if there is a vocabulary term for doing this that we could possibly explain in the template. I figure it is similar to superscript but that is different because while it makes it small and high up, ^{doing so continues it into new space} instead of writing（one or more words on top of） the previous word.

I'm hoping to understand how this template does this as it is a useful thing and I was wondering if I could read an article about this type of word formatting on Wikipedia but I'm not sure what it's called so I don't know where. Ranze (talk) 16:18, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

CSS not scope-limited

The TemplateStyles for this template uses the selector ruby > rt to make the ruby text larger. However, the problem with this is that the template does not include a selector to limit this styling to the template's own output. This can cause interference with other templates, which might have their own styling applied to the elements. The guideline notes:

Use selectors that are highly likely to be unique to the template being used. This reduces the chance of conflicting CSS rules arising accidentally. Examples: Use .myTemplate-row rather than .row or .myTemplate tr rather than tr.

This template used to have a furigana class added. A unique class should be added to the output markup and the CSS rules changed to target that, e.g. .ruby-ja ruby > rt. Opencooper (talk) 19:56, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

This has been fixed now – the class used is .templateruby. Incidentally, this template has apparently been broken for over a year, since February 5th, 2023 – the CSS wasn't being applied, meaning that the ruby text was nigh-unreadably small! That's corrected now, of course. Obskyr (talk) 02:33, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. Glad this got fixed. Opencooper (talk) 06:18, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
