"Some rare combinations between double decker and jointed buses also exist, but neither are in common use." Has this even been proposed in case of trams. Myrtone (the strict Australian wikipedian) (talk)
I've started translating from de:Straßenbahn-Gelenkwagen as it is far more comprehensive than the automated translation of that article which was put here in the first place. Sections that are not translated have been commented out in the article, but these should be gone fast. -- Doco 08:59, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure this article serves us well on its own, as most modern trams are indeed articulated. This article is a translation of the German de:Straßenbahn-Gelenkwagen, dealing with specific German tram models, which is not the same thing as the broad heading "Articulated tram." If these are indeed noteworthy on their own, then the article needs to be renamed to reflect specific tram types. Otherwise, it should be merged with the main article.

I have now changed the article to include a sentence on the "kurzgelenkwagens" in Budapest. Not all modern trams are articulated, some new twin-bogie singe cabody section trams are still made in Eastern Europe and Japan has some with bogies under cabs and low floor between them.

PS if the German language version has not been merged in this way, why the Anglophone version, do these two wikipedias have different standards? If this version is to be merged, than maybe the German laguage version should be too.
As there seem to be no further comments on this subject, I've followed ProhibitOnion's suggestion and moved the article's contents to the new article Trams in Germany. This is now a redirect to Tram for the time being.
