[edit] Color

The blue used in the Cal logo is darker than the one depicted in the template. However, being a Wikipedia noob, I don't know how to change it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.179.109.161 (talk) 04:35, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I may have originally been using an approximation of Cal's athletic colors when I did my first overhaul of this template. I've changed the colors now to those mandated for the seal of the University here, converting from Pantone to HEX as closely as I can. --Dynaflow babble 12:28, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template size

First, great work on the template, it looks great! However, it is huge, and while for some pages this is fine, on others it's 3 or 4 times larger than the article! It would be alot of work, but might I suggest sub-templates? Such as having this template on the main article, and then little templates for each section. Like the Athletic pages would have an athletic sub-template that only links to:

Big Game • California Memorial Stadium • Haas Pavilion • Oski • Stanford Axe

I think it might be cleaner.

Anyway, good work! --Falcorian (talk) 23:58, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I'm not sure which template to use for pages like UC Berkeley School of Optometry. Should it be the smaller 'academics' template or the main large one? Is there a rule? Paul Haymon (talk) 07:50, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Normally I'd say use the small template that has a link to the article, so that's what I've done! --Falcorian (talk) 08:21, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! Unfortunately, I altered the other school and college pages for UCB in that same way already. I'll revert them. Paul Haymon (talk) 10:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair Use

Also, not allowed to use the Fair Use Logo in the template as per Wikipedia:Fair_Use#Policy #9. So I'm removing it. --Falcorian (talk) 01:03, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
