Just a minor grammatical fix; could we have the links for the three Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania schools, (Bloomsburg, Lock Haven, and Mansfield) use hyphens instead of en dashes? I recently changed the titles back after further review of the official school branding. Red0ctober22 (talk) 00:24, 28 January 2026 (UTC)
- Yeah, I replaced those dashes with hyphens for those links you mentioned, as you requested. See my further revisions in this template's sandbox. Santiago Claudio (talk) 08:28, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
- Done @Red0ctober22: can you please confirm the change fixes your issue? If not, please ping me. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:14, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
- Can confirm that fixed it, thanks to you both! Red0ctober22 (talk) 19:16, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

University of the Philippines should have its display name as "UP" since that is the common abbreviation used in collegiate sports competitions. The current display name "Philippines" may be ambiguous as there are many institutions in the country that use some form of "Philippines" is their name. "UP" is also not currently used as a display name by any other institution in this template, as far as I am aware. MarcusAbacus (talk) 11:14, 7 September 2026 (UTC)
- "University of the Philippines" should never be linked if what is needed is a university. Most likely in the usages of this template, it should be linked to "University of the Philippines Diliman". Howard the Duck (talk) 00:18, 8 September 2026 (UTC)
