May I ask changing the link [[Saint Francis University|Saint Francis (PA)]] to [[Saint Francis University (Pennsylvania)|Saint Francis (PA)]], because there will be a university with same name in Hong Kong, and I moved the page. (See Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Tasks for discussion.) --Leeyc0 (Talk) 11:37, 10 January 2024 (UTC) Leeyc0 (Talk) 11:37, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Please hold. At least one user raised his concern. (See User talk:Naraht). I am not sure where is the proper place to discuss. --Leeyc0 (Talk) 13:18, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Naraht@Leeyc0 If an editor disagrees, then the correct process would be to revert the move and open a WP:RM discussion on Talk:Saint Francis University — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:57, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- MSGJ at this point, due to the fact that not only did Leeyc0 move Saint Francis University to Saint Francis University (Pennsylvania) but *also* changed the redirect of University of Saint Francis to Saint Francis University, I'm not sure that anyone properly involved in the page currently at [[Saint Francis University (Pennsylvania) would *see* it at Talk:Saint Francis University.Naraht (talk) 16:35, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- 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)
- MSGJ Naraht Looks like that Wikipedia:Move review is the proper place to discuss. I will raise this issue when I have time, or you can raise yourself. --Leeyc0 (Talk) 23:11, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

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)

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)
- I have sandboxed the changes to Template:College/sandbox to make this easier for a template-editor to action. SilverLocust 🃏 💬 10:10, 28 January 2024 (UTC) (edited)
- 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) buidhe 23:01, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Please change this, as the school's name was changed:
| Rochester University | Rochester College | Rochester = [[Rochester University|Rochester]]
into
| Rochester University | Rochester College | Rochester = [[Rochester Christian University|Rochester]] Natg 19 (talk) 22:46, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Natg 19 Shouldn't that be
| Rochester Christian University | Rochester University | Rochester College | Michigan Christian College = [[Rochester Christian University|Rochester Christian]] | University of Rochester = [[University of Rochester|Rochester]]
- I'm not sure that "Rochester" would primarily be for this school and not University of Rochester, especially since the latter is an NCAA school and the former isn't. --Ahecht (TALK
