I significantly reworked the previously really ugly and disorganized template. Some explanations:
I further streamlined the template by deleting all the redundant "College of" and "School of" text. The goal was to 1) use the name people actually use to refer to each school ("Architecture," instead of "Architecture, Planning, and Preservation") 2) and, at the same time, have the name intelligible to outsiders ("Engineering" instead of "SEAS," although people in my experience really do use the former more often than the latter). I wish there was a way to refer to GSAS or SIPA besides those abbreviations, but there isn't, and their full names are just too long. However, Columbians do at least commonly use those abbreviations to refer to those schools, fulfilling at least one of my two criterias. YLee (talk) 21:39, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
I think we need some kind of link that says "don't confuse with Template:Colombia that will occur if this template is visited in the template namespace, but that won't show up if we put this template in an article. Any thoughts on how to do this?? Georgia guy (talk) 00:52, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
