An IP editor randomly added Tamazight and French to the "languages" parameter in the infobox a while ago, but I'm wondering if this is true? Does the university teach in anything other than Standard Arabic? I feel like I may have read that it started offering some courses in Tamazight a while ago but I don't know where to verify this. I'm skeptical that it teaches in French. Anyone know? (The official website isn't much use so far but I might not be looking in the right place.) R Prazeres ( talk) 03:46, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Founded in the 9th century, Fez reached its height in the 13th–14th centuries...
Should the citation be changed to the old version or removed? fgnievinski ( talk) 04:09, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
Here's another UNESCO source making a similar claim: [3] So, should the citation be updated, removed, or replaced? fgnievinski ( talk) 04:22, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
Why is the name also written in Berber? What is the relationship? 109.107.225.149 ( talk) 13:33, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
