Template:British university
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
[edit]The template may be called using either British university
or BUni
:
The template returns constituent colleges of Oxford, Cambridge, and Durham:
{{BUni|Oxford|Magdalen}}
→Magdalen
{{BUni|Cambridge|Trinity}}
→Trinity
{{BUni|Durham|University}}
→University
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}}
→Christ's
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}}

and link
parameters, where both values are equal:
{{BUni|Bristol||[[Paul Dirac]]}}
→Paul Dirac
{{BUni|Oxford|Balliol|[[Boris Johnson]]}}

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

{{BUni|Aberdeen|full=on}}
→University of Aberdeen
