Template:College is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible template. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit. Usually, any contributor may edit the template's documentation to add usage notes or categories.
Any contributor may edit the template's sandbox. Functionality of the template can be checked using test cases.

Assess : newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status.
Cleanup : * Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state) * Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.) * Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing. * Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.
* Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show."
MSGJ, Leeyc0 The problem is that with another user turning it into a dab page for the two Saint Francis Universities and then Leeyc0 changing it to a redirect to University of Saint Francis, it can not be undone.Naraht (talk) 16:47, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Not done for now: a consensus should be reached on where all of these pages should end up and where targets should be before we go changing the template. Primefac (talk) 21:08, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
The following are already universities, accordingly replace College in these links with University, resulting in: [[Bluefield State University|Bluefield State]]; [[Buffalo State University|Buffalo State]]; [[Canisius University|Canisius]]; [[Dominican University New York|Dominican (NY)]]; [[Iona University|Iona]]; [[Molloy University|Molloy]]; [[Nazareth University|Nazareth]]; [[Rochester University|Rochester]]; and [[St. John Fisher University|St. John Fisher]].
Also, add: | Adams State University; | Alliance University | Alliance (NY) | Alliance; | Bluefield State University; | Buffalo State University; | Canisius University; | Dominican University (New York); | Iona University; | Molloy University; | Rochester University; and | St. John Fisher University | Saint John Fisher University.
Correct additional links [[Concordia College (Oregon)|Concordia (NY)]] to [[Concordia College (New York)|Concordia (NY)]] and [[Nyack College|Nyack]] to [[Alliance University (New York City)|Nyack]]. Santiago Claudio (talk) 04:02, 28 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
As a template editor, I was going to implement this request but I don't see any places in mainspace the template is used so I could test the new version. (I tried searching for transclusions, but I must be missing something). User:SilverLocust, Santiago Claudio, could you help? What is the difference in the displayed version that I should be looking for? Thanks (t · c) buidhe23:01, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
