 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:College. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on approximately 7,700 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This documentation takes one unnamed parameter: the name, nickname, or common initialism of a university or college, and turns it into a wikilinked version of the university or college's name. It is most commonly used within Template:Player2, which is used to list players in basketball team rosters.
Examples
{{College|Alabama State}}→ Alabama State{{College|University of Michigan}}→ Michigan
For usage examples within a roster, using {{player2}}, see 1976–77 Buffalo Braves season#Roster or Template:Cleveland Cavaliers roster.
Unsupported college and university names
When the unnamed parameter value is not recognized by the template, the value is displayed without a wikilink. Example:
{{College|Foo State}}→ Foo State
A blank unnamed parameter will display an error message:
{{College|}}→ Error: Template:College requires a value
