There is nothing connecting these universities other than the name, they are not part of any central organization. This is cause for a disambiguation page, not for a navigation template. Muhandes (talk) 23:13, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The purpose of this tag is supposed to be to identify important information that is missing from an article or section. That purpose is far better served by the {{Missing information}} template. Far too often, this tag is simply placed at the top of short articles with no explanation given.[6] My suggestion would be to deprecate use of the tag and migrate any uses that include a "reason" parameter to {{Missing information}}. Once that is done, any remaining uses should be removed and the template should be deleted or redirected. Kaldari (talk) 16:32, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New template created without documentation. It's presumably intended as an external link template like {{IMDB title}}, but Siamzone, a Thai-language website, is not an appropriate external link per the WP:External links guideline, so there wouldn't be any appropriate uses for this template.
