Is it worth noting the ones that came from Bristol/Bristol Siddeley? GraemeLeggett 09:50, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
I've been bold, and updated the template to list the main divisions by type, rather than by company. I think this format is more intuitive when it comes to finding or adding engines to the list. In fact, it's becoming more difficult to tell where the newer engines come from, as RR isn't making a clear distinction in it's material, usually listing all turboshafts or turbofans on the same pages, regardless of origin. (Note that the German and Italian versions also list by type.) I know some prefer the previous format, so, could we let this run for a couple of week, say to the end of June, and see what the consensus is then? If it's against the new format, I'll revert back to the old one myself. Thanks. - BilCat ( talk) 20:15, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
Is there a plain English version of this phrase or a wikilink that could be used to explain it? From the article names I get the context, but what of others? GraemeLeggett ( talk) 13:36, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
I notice the removal of the links to the US companies, I think this is a shame as the company is still very much in business and it's lost the Allison line heritage (which was there to explain the 'AE' designations). We do have articles on the US branches although the names might not be quite correct, the main company seems to be called 'Rolls-Royce North America Inc.' looking at their contact details. No need to ask me if edits to this template are ok BTW as I don't ' own' it as has been discussed at great length elsewhere!! I simply note that I don't entirely agree with the last change that merged all the American products and lost the links, I think the company deserves a mention as they employ 24,000 people.

I think the template needs some work to make it less bulky. I would also drop all the manufacturers names in the co-design section as the bold names overwhelm the standard text links to the articles. GraemeLeggett ( talk) 12:33, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
You guys now have the RB turbine engines in front of the piston engines, not good. Using the † sign looks like the engines are dead, also not very clever. There are two reasons for my recent silence, I did not want to comment in case of more template ownership accusations and I was in fear of adding more 'hyperbole'. The simple answer is to split the template by company as I suggested 18 months ago at WT:AETF. Please carry on experimenting until you find a format that you are happy with.

@ User:Nimbus227 - apologies regards reverted edit. Did not realise that the templates for products up until 1971. Would it then be worth putting a hidden comment at the top of the template to make sure users who are not deep into the subject matter realise this? - Master Of Ninja ( talk) 07:26, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
Curious why the red link to the designer R W H Bailey has been removed (with the edit summary 'corrected links' (which actually broke a good link))? I would probably have created that article this winter. Before we go down a path of moving articles to RB with a dot or without (again) there should be a discussion. I believe the company was not consistent in its use in any case. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 10:16, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
