Does being a UARC quality as an academic affiliation?
Doing a spot check, it doesn't look like being a
UARC is usually listed under academic affiliations. I could be way off base, but is that an appropriate thing to list under academic_affiliations?

@
Darkage7, are you talking about on the UARC's page? I think {{Infobox institute}} might be a better fit for such an article, but if this one is to be used, |parent= would probably work better than |academic_affiliations=. Cheers, {{u|Sdkb}}talk18:55, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
For example, the
University of Washington's Applied Physics Lab is a UARC, affiliated with the Navy. Under UW's "academic affiliations" it doesn't list it. It does list that it's a space-grant and a sea-grant university. It seems to me like that might be an appropriate place to list that it's also a UARC. Perhaps I'm just barking up the wrong tree. The more I think about it perhaps such a connection is more appropriate for the Lab entity's specific page, rather than the University itself.

Yeah, I would save that for the lab's page. |academic_affiliations= has in its description that it should be used only for Academic organizations of which the institution is a member and provide
essential definition of the institution (mission, values, activities, etc.). A lab within the university being affiliated with the Navy doesn't mean that the university as a whole is defined by that affiliation. (I'd also say that being space grant isn't an affiliation that warrants listing, cc
