Links to schools[edit]

I have noticed an inconsistency across the five season-specific articles regarding the links to a player's university. In 2018 and 2023, they link to the school's athletics article (e.g. [[Carleton Ravens|Carleton]]), while 2019 to 2022 have the actual school linked (e.g. [[Carleton University|Carleton]]). Which one of these options should all the articles point to? My personal preference is to link the teams, but more importantly, they should be consistent.

I would say link to the page of the athletic team, and to as specific a page as possible e.g. Toronto Varsity Blues men's soccer, and if not that Toronto Varsity Blues, and only something like University of Toronto as a last resort. I assume that most Canadian universities with athletic teams will have their own pages, though not so sure about pages for their soccer teams. Jay eyem (talk) 00:01, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with linking to the team (specific sport team if available, otherewise the general sports team as Jay said). It is consistent with what we do for MLS and in the infobox of the players college section. School should only be if there was no page for the sports teams of the school (as is the case with some of the colleges like Humber College, but I think every university sports team has a wiki page) RedPatch (talk) 16:48, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
