CMUaffiliated

CMUaffiliated is a designation used in some wikis and knowledge bases to indicate that a person, project, organization, or event has an ongoing connection with Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). It is an informal label, not an official CMU program or status. The scope typically includes current or former students, faculty, researchers, staff, alumni, visiting scholars, and external partners who collaborate with CMU on research, education, or administrative activities. It also covers CMU-based laboratories, centers, institutes, and long-term initiatives, as well as student organizations and events that operate closely with CMU communities.

In practice, CMUaffiliated pages aim to provide context about the affiliation without implying formal authority or endorsement. The tag is primarily used as a navigational or organizational tool within wikis, knowledge bases, or project documentation, allowing readers to find content linked to CMU more easily. Because CMU has multiple campuses and global programs, the label can apply to Pittsburgh campus activities, CMU Qatar, and partner programs, though local usage may vary.

Usage should be consistent and careful to avoid misrepresentation. When applied, it is common to include a short note clarifying the nature of the affiliation (for example, “affiliated with CMU through the Robotics Institute” or “CMU-affiliated collaborator”) and to avoid implying formal affiliation where none exists.
