Ruby
We use ruby for every ateji, like many Wikis do. Don't change that. 12:52, November 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * You're using the Ruby wrong. It's not used on the romaji. And "ateji" is a very particular thing. It's how 亜米利加 means "America". クロスウォーズ over 巡り合いの戦い is furigana meant to completely change 巡り合いの戦い to be read as クロスウォーズ.— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 05:59, November 27, 2015 (UTC)
 * Please, keep the discussion here. It's better to keep everything in one place so it's easier for others to read in the future.
 * I may have got the term ateji wrong, but you understood what I meant. We use "Meguriai no Tatakai" and etc. because we should also inform what is the normal reading of the thing.
 * And you edit warred with two admins. Next time an admin reverts your edits, bring it up on a talk page instead of immediately redoing your edit. Next time will be considered vandalism. 14:00, November 27, 2015 (UTC)
 * The "normal reading" is of no importance to the context of Digimon. All that's important is that 巡り合いの戦い(クロスウォーズ) is read as "Xros Wars".— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 23:54, November 27, 2015 (UTC)
 * That's...not true at all. The series often uses ateji in specific circumstances, not universally, to clarify the meaning of the kana, rather than the other way around. "Xros Wars" is gibberish, because "Xros" is a made-up word. Covering the literal meaning of the under-kanji adds meaning. Whether or not other sites use ruby that way is of no important to us -- we are using it to convey additional information. 05:55, November 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * You fundamentally misunderstand the intent of furigana (again "ateji" is different). Furigana is meant to give the way the Japanese text is meant to be read in the particular context of this work of fiction. When you see it is only supposed to be read as "Kurosu Woozu" (I don't feel like copying the macron O). In the context of Digimon Xros Wars, it is never read as "Meguriai no Tatakai" so it is entirely pointless to provide that text primarily and not "Kurosu Woozu". In your quest to provide complete information you're providing the wrong information.— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 06:41, November 28, 2015 (UTC)
