Subject: A list sounds good

Fair point; a lot of these OFU's don't have a direct connection to the PPC, and a list that maybe included who's in charge and what the Minis are (assuming they were created in the OFU, not previously) would cover most of the important information.
In browsing the wiki I've discovered that there are a few OFU's not included - for instance, in addition to OFUCI there's another finished one for PotC that can be found here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3380152/1/Official-Fanfiction-University-of-the-Caribbean
Also, this one for Doctor Who:

And this one for Cats:

Should pages be made for these, or are they already there and I just missed them? I have a feeling I'm missing at least one I discovered at some point, but I have doubts about it being all that official given how much time was dedicated to a "plague" on the wall.
Mostly, the only OFUs discussed in detail on the Wiki are the ones with specific ties to the PPC. OFUCI was written by Thalia Weaver, one of the first Permission Givers; IAHF was-and-is written by a current PPC Boarder, etc etc etc. Since there were over a hundred OFUs on Miss Cam's list before she deregulated the field, there's going to be a whole bunch not discussed at length.
That said, though, I don't know of any reason they can't have pages. The OFU multiverse and the PPC multiverse are explicitly identified with each other, and a fair number have made appearances in PPC stories. So if you're bored and want to write useful (ie, non-stub) pages, go ahead. But it's not something I see a need for.
Alternately, I can't seem to find a simple list article, which might be more useful. It might be better to de-redirect 'Fanfiction University' from the category page and make a list and full article there.

Though that brings up the question of whether or not all the OFU's mentioned on that page, but not elsewhere, should also have dedicated pages.
