I am looking to find or build a simple Wikipedia:Citation templates for this page.
Example of used currently
*[[Guide Dogs for the Blind | Guide Dogs for the Blind: San Rafael, California]] External - [http://www.guidedogs.com Guide Dogs for the Blind website]
The list is already laid out by Continent alphabetically, sub categories (if needed) should follow the same format. I checked Wikipedia:List guideline and did not find a way to automate the organization of the list so it would have to manually sorted.
This page includes external links to organizations where available. Including external links in a list is not a standard process in Wikipedia. These links were included specifically to enhance the usability of this page for visually impaired users who may have difficulty locating the resources through sources other then Wikipedia.

I'm a bit torn on whether or not this article is reasonable.... I've watched most of the assistance dog articles get more and more links added as more people discover them, and have come to believe it's better to have no links to specific organizations rather than something like this- it almost feels like advertising- who gets to decide what organizations get put on? There isn't really a need for an article for every school... they'd pretty much all be stubs and look very similar, I think, and there's several great sites that can tell you organizations for your area and give you links for groups, such as IAADP's "Who's Who in the Assistance Dog Community" (speaking of which, I'm rather embarrassed I've missed the International Guide Dog Federation all this time...).
Anyway, if this is something you're set on, I guess you could start by adding all of the organizations that used to be listed on guide dog. -- Sarranduin ( Talk) 23:16, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
If a school has closed please leave it in place on the list (or add it) and put an entry in front of its place on the list "School closed" followed by the approximate date. Jeepday 14:21, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I've read the other sections in this talk, but they do not really address the question of "notability". I think we need an inline reference for each entry to confirm that it is "notable", in addition to any inline reference confirming that "this is a guide dog school". Something like "the only one listed for a country in this referenced world list" would be OK, as would "the largest", "the oldest", "received this fantastic award" or whatever.
If the school is "notable", please create an article for it. If you cannot create at least a stub article establishing notability then it is not notable in Wikipedia's terms (there may of course be exceptions, please explain why clearly here if you add an exception). One good reference from that article can then support the entry here.
Both the current references in the article were archived dead links, so we need to find up-to-date lists or whatever to support the inclusion. I have started with one maintained by the AFB and a charity's world list. These can help the reader find nearby or whatever schools, it is not necessary for Wikipedia to duplicate them. I have used {{
sfn}}
and friends so that we can also have a clearly visible bulleted list of cited lists, which should help usability. I will start looking for further references... --
