Academy (to train new counter-vandals), Vandalism studies (to continue the work they've been doing), and the Task Force (though I'm not 100% sure what they do).

As for this template, I could see where one might be confused for a moment and think that the CVU is official, considering that most of the links on it are official. Still, the section that it's in (resources) isn't really chalk-full of official pages. It seems to be more of just things to help out

Disinclination to delete does not constitute approval for all modes of publicity. I have no objection to a link to the CVU from
