I must admit, I don't think the inclusion of the shield is an improvement across the board, the ones I've noticed also don't have transparency against the background colour of the box itself, which I find a minor irritation. In all cases I would prefer a section in the article with a picture of the shield and a note about why they are used. -- Alf melmac 21:40, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I've adjusted the definition of the bottom two lines so that they line up in the middle properly. I *think* that this was the original intention. Please let me know if it breaks anything elsewhere. It makes Merton College, Oxford look better... Thruston 09:12, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
There's been some discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject University of Oxford about the possibility of adding maps to the college pages. I wondered how people would feel about possibly adding these within the infobox as they I can't quite see how they'd fit elsewhere in the articles. I mocked up a view of one way it could look in my sandbox, for comments, but I'm not quite sure how the layout should look. Has anyone seen something similar in an infobox elsewhere?

As it looked much better, I have lifted the styling of Template:Durham College Infobox and applied it to our one, obviously replacing the purple for Oxford navy. I'm fairly sure there are no syntax issues based on the pages I've checked, but feel free to revert it if there are any. DJR ( T) 16:47, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
I have reverted User:Djr xi's removal of much of the linking in the infobox title. I think that's far too significant a change for someone to make unilaterally without some form of debate first. Can we discuss here the relative merits of the full title versus the proposed cut-down version? Personally I prefer the full title as I don't think it's overcomplicated from a visual sense and no more complicated code-wise than the rest of the template. Plus I think it provides links to valid, relevant information and highlights the important distinction between colleges and pph's. AulaTPN 08:30, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
As all colleges have a Visitor, can we please have a line for that? Andrew Yong ( talk) 10:18, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Not always prominent in the lead and a number of articles have yet to have a coherent history section to check the lead lines for the person(s) concerned.-- Alf melmac 22:00, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
I don't understand why the boatclub website is included in the external links part of the infobox. Is it really that important? More important than the JCR/MCR websites, which are not included in the infobox? Hadrian89 ( talk) 17:28, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Over at the other place’s infobox talkpage, I suggested to style the top bits of all college infoboxes the same, perhaps using a dark blue background and white text. This would make the Oxbridge infoboxes more recognisable as their style would be more consistent, compared to the widely varying looks as for example in the Jesus, Merton and New College articles. Charlie A. suggested to ask here as well, as he modelled the Cambridge infobox after this one here. — Richie 21:04, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
A revision in July 2015 changed the rendering of links from light orange to deep blue. This made the links hard to see when displayed against the dark colours as used in most of the college infobox headings (see example). The heading colours seem to be derived from the predominant colours of their scarves, and it's not for me to decide whether having custom heading colours is more important than maintaining standard link colours. As the status quo is generally illegible I've boldly set the heading and links colors back to their inherited values pending a consensus that is legible for all possible college primary colours. There's a similar issue with Template:Infobox Cambridge college. - Pointillist ( talk) 00:58, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
