Template talk:Bdm

I suggested in a forum several weeks ago that this takes up much more space than necessary. The current coding is: Readers don't need a tab to point them to the page they are on. So |Main is of no value here (and had little or no value in its other location).

A link to a subpage does not need the complete depth of a box (the equivalent of two lines of text) to do its job adequately. Half a line of text should be enough. How about something like:
 * See also subpage for Tables of births, deaths, etc.

Where there is a disambiguation or similar message, this can share a line with it and therefore sometimes take up no additional lines instead of one or two, letting readers see more of the actual page before they have to scroll.
