This template describes articles about British Rail diesel multiple units. Therefore it should categorise articles under Category:British Rail diesel multiple units, as it is a distinct sub-category of Category:Multiple units. (Our Phellap)
[edit] TFD
This template was nominated for deletion, but did not have consensus to delete. Thus it is kept. See Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/Not deleted/June 2005. However, given its sheer size it may be worth considering to split it or convert it to a list. Radiant_* 09:55, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Redesign proposal
I have created a new design for the template. It can be found below. The benifits of it over the current design are that it is collapsible, it has the v-d-e function, the layout is clearer and the template takes up less space on the page.
I would like to hear the thoughts of other people first, and have a consensus reached on whether it should be implemented. If you wish to make any changes to the design, then please make a copy of the template below, then modify it. This means the templates can be compared against each other.
I have also made similar proposals on the related templates here and here.

- Much cleaner and less "tall" than the original. I had been thinking about proposing a change myself and this is exactly the kind of thing I had in mind. The same goes for the proposals at Template talk:British Rail Locomotives and Template talk:British Rail EMU, although I would suggest different colours for each template (not sure which ones though). -=# Amos E Wolfe talk #=- 20:57, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- I have implemented the redesign following no objections. I have kept the colours on all the templates the same based on comments on the Locomotives template talk page, and the need for consistency. --Jorvik 09:40, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
