Should there be parameters in the university infobox for Acceptance Rate and Graduation Rate? Has this already been considered and discussed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TeuberC26 ( talk • contribs) 17:35, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
Frietjes, this template uses |location=
or |address=
, |city=
, |state=
, |country=
. I found
Anugrah Narayan College, Patna was using |location=street
with the rest of the location in city/state/country parameters, so only the street was displayed. Do you want to make a "conflicting address parameter" tracking category so other cases can be found and fixed?

|affiliations=
is confusing since there is also |sporting_affiliations=
and |affiliation=
which do different things. if I were sure that everything in |affiliations=
was non-sporting, I would move it to an alias for |affiliation=
, but this is probably not the case.

|affiliation=
and |sporting_affiliations=
. Both should display. There is no way to fix this without making a guess if the value in |affiliation=
is academic or religious.

, I was trying to get it to work on my own but it would be useful to have that with a substitute/interchangeable parameter for |athletic_affiliations=
. I don't know if "sporting affiliation" is used commonly in other English speaking parts of the world, but for US/North American universities, "athletic affiliations" is the commonly used NA English language. Adjusting that could also help cut down on the confusion of the other affiliation parameters because North American English speakers would know what |athletic_affiliations=
is intended for. I think right now, many don't look for "sporting affiliation" so they throw athletic conferences into the general |affiliation=
or other parameters. --

18:22, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Am I mistaken or is the motto_lang parameter not actually displayed in the rendered infobox? For example, United States Merchant Marine Academy has "la" specified for this parameter but nothing relevant is displayed in the rendered infobox. Is this correct behavior?

|motto=
parameter, then the 8,309 infoboxes with mottoes can be cleaned up. We could probably submit a
bot request for a database report showing each article that uses |motto=
and the text of its |motto=
, |motto_lang=
, and |mottoeng=
parameters. After the mottoes are cleaned up, it is a simple matter to change the infobox code to display the motto differently. –

|motto=
should be formatted.
Here is a search that shows many infoboxes that use mottoes. Look through those for instructions that make sense to you. –

02:46, 28 February 2020 (UTC)Can someone add parameters for transit here? Specifically |publictransit=
to display "Public transit access". This is pretty important connection information, available in many infoboxes like {{
Infobox station}}, {{
Infobox shopping mall}}, {{
Infobox museum}}, {{
Infobox park}}, and more.

|athletics=
and |sports=
work interchangeably with the description to "Use Athletics or Sports, whichever is appropriate" in the
Template:Infobox university. In for US universities, "athletics" represents the entire sports offerings so athletic affiliation fits with the naming convention of
College athletics in the United States, athletic conferences, etc... --

02:28, 4 April 2020 (UTC)Dear All,
Almost every university has an anthem or official university song.
Let us add a new parameter as
<code> |anthem = ''[[Anthem_label_text]]''<br />{{small|''English_Name_of_the_Song''}}<br />[[File:Uploaded_anthem.ogg|center]] </code>
