Unnecessary "if" part

Hi, the "if" part in this code: 

| data61 = {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe
  | auto
  | onByDefault = {{#if:{{{pushpin_map|}}}{{#invoke:String|match|s= {{{embedded|}}}{{{module|}}} |pattern= mapframe |ignore_errors= true}}|no|yes}}
  | mapframe-type = {{{mapframe-type|landmark}}}
  | mapframe-marker = {{{mapframe-marker|college}}}
  | mapframe-wikidata = {{#if:{{{mapframe-coordinates|}}}{{{mapframe-coord|}}}{{{coordinates|}}}{{{coor|}}}|<!--
                                     -->{{{mapframe-wikidata|}}}|yes}}
}}

is not required. So to make the code simpler please change that to: 

| data61 = {{#invoke:Infobox mapframe
  | auto
  | onByDefault = {{#if:{{{pushpin_map|}}}{{#invoke:String|match|s= {{{embedded|}}}{{{module|}}} |pattern= mapframe |ignore_errors= true}}|no|yes}}
  | mapframe-type = {{{mapframe-type|landmark}}}
  | mapframe-marker = {{{mapframe-marker|college}}}
  | mapframe-wikidata = {{{mapframe-wikidata|yes}}}
}}

Sandboxed Template:Infobox university/sandbox and tested many times. Thanks, Hooman Mallahzadeh (talk) 14:15, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

Add parameters to allow for an image, which would usually be an image of the physical campus of the university.

−
| caption = {{{caption|}}}
+
| caption = {{{caption|}}}
−

image2 = {{#invoke:InfoboxImage |InfoboxImage |image={{{image|}}} |size={{{image_size|}}} |sizedefault=frameless |upright={{{image_upright|1}}} |alt={{{image_alt|}}} }}
−
+
caption2 = {{{image_caption|}}}

There is already an image parameter (image at the top) and a logo parameter (image at the bottom). I'm not sure that we want a third image, or where it go in the infobox. Robminchin (talk) 05:34, 9 August 2025 (UTC)

Weird edge case…

So I just ran into a weird case… National School of Administration (Mali). The school opened, closed and then reopened again. This means that it is currently not possible to accurately display the Active dates. I propose a |active= that would override the current display of {{{established}}}-{{{closed}}}. Anyone have any thoughts? Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 08:15, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

Creating a new parameter that will surely get polluted in order to work around one edge case is not usually the best resolution. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:57, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
That seems like a fair solution! Thanks. —Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:10, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Edit request mapframe

Per this discussion, could somebody make the change required (example) to have the red outline appear in the map? Abductive (reasoning) 23:58, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

I've encountered a lot of these, and I keep thinking we shouldn't have to be fixing this on a per-template basis. It should be possible to change that template so that it automatically enables the shape option when it autodetects P402. I'll bring it up over there. --Joy (talk) 21:06, 11 October 2025 (UTC)
Oh, sorry, I just realized that this discussion actually revolves around the implementation here in June that includes:
: | mapframe-wikidata = {{#if:{{{mapframe-coordinates|}}}{{{mapframe-coord|}}}{{{coordinates|}}}{{{coor|}}}||yes}} :
I think I had picked this up from Infobox mountain defaults, but in the meantime this was discussed at Template talk:Infobox mountain#Mapframe-zoom parameter doesn't work in July and August. A new meaning was added to the mapframe-shape parameter in August, so I'll try and switch to that here, too. --Joy (talk) 12:49, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

Moving logo to top of infobox

This has been previously discussed (1, 2) but it has been multiple years, and from my read I don't see a formal consensus. I propose that the image of an institution's logo be displayed first (that is, at the top of the infobox), before and above the seal.

In my experience attending one higher education institution and working for another, the logo of a college will be much more widely known and recognized, and is more likely to help a reader recognize that they are on the article they were looking for. As an anecdote, I attend a college that has both a logo and an official seal, and although the seal is displayed first in the infobox, at the very top of the page, I have never seen the college itself or anyone affiliated with it use the seal outside of official letterheads and plaques on buildings. Meanwhile, the college's logo is on every piece of merch in the bookstore, the header of the website, street signs around campus, and almost anywhere the college is visually representing itself. Why would it be shoved at the bottom of the infobox when it is so much more widely-circulated and recognizable?

Thoughts on rearranging the layout of this template? BhamBoi (talk) 20:06, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

Switching them round makes sense. Universities vary considerably in how much the coat of arms is seen outside formal certificates but the logo is more consistently the basic image used to represent the institution. Timrollpickering (talk) 20:16, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
Oppose. The image parameter is for an "Institution-related graphic, preferably the official seal or logo." There is no need to change the infobox template if you want the logo ar the top, just point the image parameter at that rather than the seal, which is already explicitly allowed.
