High school listings?

So, I've spent the last few weeks adding a ton of schools to this template and cleaning up Category:Pages using Template:College with unsupported name. It's significantly leaner than it has been, and the vast majority of the nearly 600 pages left in there are calling for a high school. Do we have any consensus for what we want to do to deal with those? I know there's been some discussion in the past of having {{player2}} just pass those links through, kind of how it does with anything in the "from" field (for foreign players). Personally, I would be afraid of the inconsistencies that this would create, and since the whole point of this template is to create consistency, I don't see that being a great solution.

I'm building a list of all of the high schools that are currently being referenced - I don't think it's too lengthy of a list, and while they aren't colleges, I think there's a good argument for adding them to the list for {{college}}. Alternatively, I could see having "school" point at a secondary template just for high schools. This would be a bit more work, but not overwhelming (it would basically just be a copy-paste of the code for this template, no? with a new set of data to pull from), and would avoid issues that came up with regards to too many pipes in {{college}}.

Anybody have any thoughts? -fuzzy510 (talk) 01:08, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

There's hundreds of U.S. colleges, while there's thousands of high schools, and a HS having a player bypass college and go directly to the NBA is pretty much a one-off situtation for the given school. It doesn't seem like there would be much reuse by trying to standardize HSs, as any subsequent players will likely be from a "new" school, and require a new entry (perhaps this will change in a few years, as college sports is evolving with NILs and the like).—Bagumba (talk) 03:10, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

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)
