I received the following from User:Allyunion on my talk page:
I just wanted to stay that it looks horribly uneven with the list of campuses on two lines, with the bottom line much much smaller than the top. The 6 campuses on the top, and the 4 campuses on the bottom made it at least a bit nicer. It just looks so... uneven to me with the 8 campuses on top and the 2 campuses on the bottom.
Perhaps it would be better to include a table within a table and put five campus on top and five campuses on the bottom? Right now, I think it looks messy. Not having it one line or not having it look even just doesn't really work.
I agree that it looks uneven and someone with the html skills should fix it, but we also have to take into account how it would look on smaller (eg 800 x 600 px) screens. -- Jia ng 21:59, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Rather than editing the template itself and having disagreements over the look, I'll put my suggested change here:

I put the three formats, the second one I just discovered recently how to do. The third one I just put it up for the heck of it. - Allyunion 06:32, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
(via edit conflict, written before you posted the differnt codes) I converted to a 800 x 600 screen and the options looked like this:
-- Jia ng 06:39, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
By the way, we can't always please everyone at every screensize. Granted, 800 X 600 is a worthy resolution to consider, but anything smaller, such as 640 X 480 isn't really worth considering. The majority of users I believe use 1024 X 768, unless they are old -- then they use 800 X 600. Under the 800 X 600 resolution, the current template fits on three lines, with Santa Cruz on the last line -- orphaned alone. I really think that the consideration for a 640 X 480 should not be a high priority in this case. There is about 35 pixels from the Template border of the article entry to the table border of the navigational menu on the left side. On the right side, there is about 132 pixels left under a 800 X 600 resolution. Besides, the only reason anyone uses a smaller resolution is because they can't read the text -- which means having the text small doesn't help at all. - Allyunion 06:45, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I'm using FireFox, under FireFox it's three lines...

I think the 4, 3, 3 with a set width looks good. I used 485 px, which SHOULD work under a 640 X 480 resolution with no margin. Do you perfer it with a margin or without? It looks like it has enough spaces to use a margin, slightly.

Notes: Table is now set at 450px. This WELL should work under a 640 X 480, but my laptop doesn't support that resolution so I can't test that. I've added the style margin comment, but removed the style width comment in favor for a standard table width parameter since I'm using HTML code. Additionally, I should think the code should pass XHTML standards.

Notes: Restoring the code to original format, with margin, centers, etc. By the way, div align tags are now favored over center tags.

It looks the same on 1024x768 and 800x600 screens (that is, two lines of almost equal length). -- Jia ng 06:44, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Yes...strange. I still prefer having it on top. Should "University of California" be left aligned or centered? -- Jia ng 02:13, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

This is how I found the template a couple of days ago, and changed it; it looked like this: uctemplate.png. This design has problems:
Hope you like the new version. -- Yath 15:11, 11 Sep 2004 (UTC)
If there is no objection, seeing as you haven't responded in awhile, I will now put up the new template. -- Allyunion 06:25, 2 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Eh... I dunno, it's just I dislike the idea of the auto fit width to the image and text... --[[User:AllyUnion| AllyUnion (talk)]] 12:06, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
All images used in templates that will appear outside the main articles for which their respective fair-use rationales hold (see WP:F) must be free images. UC seals and any other images copyrighted by the UC Regents will not be free to use here, no matter how low the resolution. -- Dynaflow 13:34, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Voila! Based on my original prototype UCSC template. The color will change in the actual template (this is just the pasted code, still in Santa Cruz's colors as a relic of its prototype's coloring) once I dig up UCOP's identity standards documentation. Does anybody have any suggstions as to other content to include ( UC Police, etc.)?

Anyone object to adding PHEV Research Center? It wouldn't create the need for another line, and is pertinent, especially as of recently. 71.137.196.107 ( talk) 02:12, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
For future reference, I'm using the official UC palette from here: http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/graphicresources/elements.php#colors. --Dynaflow babble 08:10, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Hastings is not on the official UC letterhead nor the official list of UC campuses. In this case, Hastings appears to have been added in this edit in 2006 by a user who has not been active for 10 years. Any objections before I delete it from the infobox? -- Coolcaesar ( talk) 06:45, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
Are there any thoughts on adding University of California, Washington Center to the template? I think it could either go in the "Campus" line as "Washington Center" or a new line could be created (internship?). As far as I can tell, it's not administered by any specific campus.
