Wikipedia

The Knowledge Panels next to Google search results are partially influenced by Wikipedia and Wiki Data:

Google knowledge panel for the College of Fine Arts

Examples of robust Knowledge Panels include McCombs School of Business and LBJ School of Public Affairs.

Each department and unit in the college should have its own page and be associated with the University of Texas at Austin. You need an account to create and edit pages on Wikipedia. They have a how-to on creating pages:

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_create_a_page
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Your_first_article

Helpful guidelines for university pages including links to featured examples:

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:College_and_university_article_guideline

You can also join their WikiProject Higher Education, which aims to improve the coverage of universities and colleges on Wikipedia.

* Education Program pages are restricted namespaces. If you’re unable to create a page, you may need to contact an administrator to do it for you.

Wiki Data

COFA and its departments should also be added as a UT subsidiary on WikiData.
