Forum:SH:Affiliations

For some strange reason, other users have a problem with adding a school or institution to the Affiliations section of their infobox saying that adding a school or institution to Affiliations is somehow unnecessary and "trivial", but the whole point of Affiliations is to list any and all affiliations. Don't get me wrong, the Affiliations shouldn't get too long, but preventing affiliations from being added isn't helping either. Users have said that because many attended and trained there, they shouldn't be added to Affiliations as if numbers matter? So what if thousands trained there? They're affiliated with it since they, as I said, trained and attended the academy which is what the section is intended for. A number of users have also expressed how the infoboxes shouldn't get too long, but it is only limiting and lacking information. Besides, it is not as if most of them even have that many affiliations to begin with (the ones that attended the academy). Having it on their affiliations links them together in a way and shows they attended the academy and that they are affiliated with it. Sure it is located multiple times on their page, but some of them are really long or a few at least may not have that much information to go on. Andrewh7 (talk) 21:40, February 12, 2020 (UTC) Andrewh7
