Examples

[edit]

Here are some examples using the Labour Party (note that there are multiple potential input names):

	["Labour and Co-operative"] = "Labour Party (UK)",
	["Labour Co-operative"] = "Labour Party (UK)",
    ...
	["Labour Party (Thailand)"] = {abbrev = "", color = "#FF0000", shortname = "",},
	["Labour Party (UK)"] = {abbrev = "Lab", color = "#E4003B", shortname = "Labour",},

If the party is not present in the module, or the shortname or abbreviation are not in the module, the input party name will be returned.

Lua script error messages

[edit]

If either of the required parameters are not supplied, or the color does not exist in the module, an error will be returned.

  • {{Political party}}parameter 1 should be a party name.
  • {{Political party|A test no values}}parameter 2 should be the output type.
  • {{Political party|A test no values|color}}Value not in template. Please request that it be added.

To avoid generating a script error, use |error=value. Note that this error value will also be passed if the party is not stored in the module.
