The Economist line on template doesn't work

Checked template and it was missing from code. Added it back in and still doesn't display.—differentspin ^talk 12:27, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Update

I updated the code in the template so that it can now accommodate both (1) schools with graduate programs only and (2) school that are outside of the U.S. Cheers! —Eustress ^talk 16:14, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

The Forbes line on the template doesn't work

Forbes does not show up on the list. See Template:Infobox business school rankings/example. On a page that uses the template, USC Marshall School of Business, the reference <ref name="USUnivRankings_Forbes"/> no longer is generated. StarryGrandma (talk) 00:30, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

I see that Forbes has been removed. This is a bit hard on those articles that use the template. Oh well, what's another broken reference name on Category:Pages with broken reference names! StarryGrandma (talk) 08:26, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Adding QS TopMBA Global 200 Business Schools Report

QS provides reputable rankings for universities worldwide, so I see no reason to exclude their business school metric from the table. 6mat1 (talk) 14:49, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

ANyone else think it's notable/reputable? I'm not convinced. Seems promotional. Poets & Quants seems similarly marginal. But I'm no expert in this area.--Elvey^(t•c) 22:22, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation of QS

As QS is now a disambiguation page, please re-point the template's link to Quacquarelli Symonds. Nick Number (talk)

There should be a mandatory area for year dates in this template

Year dates should be mandatory on this chart and there should be a mandatory place to put the date for each ranking. Some rankings on charts such as these are over a decade old and massively inaccurate and out of date. Softlavender (talk) 10:06, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Agreed Heyyo1890 (talk) 00:34, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

100% agree. This table needs a major overhaul. The dates are three years old from 2019 and the charts are massively innacurate and out of date. I wonder how often it is being updated on business school pages. Perhaps this textbox should be abandoned or completely redone. For example, the economist recently abandoned its mba rankings. Economist Stops Its MBA Ranking

The usage parameters and documentation are currently different. The documentation for worldwide mba lists business insider, the economist, and the financial times. The entrance usage parameters are for the Financial Times MBA and QS MBA.

It appears the economist stopped their ranking, and Business Insider just uses the QS MBA as their worldwide ranking. [1]. So that would be left with Financial Times MBA and QS MBA as the Worldwide MBA rankings. Mikecurry1 (talk) 03:41, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

This template needs a massive overhaul

It seems like there is a consensus the template is bad, and outdated. I can try to improve it later, or we should discard it.Mikecurry1 (talk) 20:45, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Which rankings do you think should be in here?

I do not think people are updating this often for all these categories, so I just left the MBA rankings, and edited out the subject rankings.Mikecurry1 (talk)

I added the year next to the rankings and updated some individual wiki pages. I am hoping with the shorter list, people will update it more often.Mikecurry1 (talk)

Indeed, since adding the year as recommended to the template, very few pages were updating the rankings regularly. Fewer rankings is definitely better than more, due to the lack of updating of them.Mikecurry1 (talk)

I have updated the documentation and kept the ranking list simple with the year next to each, so hopefully people will update the ranking textbox for the business school at least annually.Mikecurry1 (talk)

Undergraduate rankings

For the life of me, I cannot understand why this template lacks an optional category for undergraduate rankings. It badly needs that. IndyNotes (talk) 02:04, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
