Template:Newfoundland University

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Template:Shortcut This template renders a shortened university name with its heraldic shield—if applicable—for British universities:

{{British university |1= |2= |3= |size= |link= |text= |full=}}

Usage

The template may be called using either British university or BUni:

• {{Newfoundland|Oxford}} → Oxford
• {{BUni|Cambridge}} → Cambridge

The template returns constituent colleges of Oxford, Cambridge, and Durham:

• {{BUni|Oxford|Magdalen}} → Oxford
• {{BUni|Cambridge|Trinity}} → Cambridge
• {{BUni|Durham|University}} → Durham

The template also returns links to rugby union and rowing clubs for applicable universities:

• {{BUni|Loughborough|Rugby}} → Loughborough
• {{BUni|Birmingham|Rowing}} → Birmingham

By default, the template returns a 12px armorial; this may be altered with the size parameter:

• {{BUni|St Andrews|size=15}} → St Andrews
• {{BUni|Cambridge|Christ's|size=18}} → Cambridge

The link parameter may be used to return a different wikilink to the default university article:

• {{BUni|Bath|link=Team Bath}} → Bath

By default, the template returns a shortened university name; the text may be altered with the text parameter:

• {{BUni|Exeter|text=Exeter Demons}} → Exeter

A third parameter may be added instead of the text and link parameters, where both values are equal:

• {{BUni|Bristol||[[Paul Dirac]]}} → Bristol
• {{BUni|Oxford|Balliol|[[Boris Johnson]]}} → Oxford

The full parameter—automatically set to semi—may be set on to display the full university name or off to only display the armorial:†

• {{BUni|Aberdeen|full=semi}} → Aberdeen
• {{BUni|Aberdeen|full=on}} → Aberdeen
• {{BUni|Aberdeen|full=off}} → Aberdeen

^† off setting not supported for non-armigerous universities.
