ಮೋಡ್ಯೂಲ್:Political party

Template:Political party produces the short name or color of the provided political party.

Usage

• {{Political party|<party name>|<value requested>}}

Parameters

Parameter	Description
1	The political party's name. If a party is not found, place a request at the talk page.
2	The value requested. Currently supported values are abbrev, color, and shortname .
error	Optional, this parameter will return the provided |error= value if the module does not contain the requested party or color.

Examples

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",},

• {{Political party|Labour Party (UK)|abbrev}} → Lab
• {{Political party|Labour Party (UK)|shortname}} → Labour
• {{Political party|Labour and Co-operative|shortname}} → Labour Co-op
• {{Political party|Labour Co-operative|shortname}} → Labour Co-op
• {{Political party|Labour Party (UK)|color}} → #E4003B

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.

• {{Political party|Not-a-party|abbrev}} → Not-a-party
• {{Political party|Not-a-party|shortname}} → Not-a-party
• {{Political party|Not-a-party|color}} → #F8F9FA
• {{Political party|A test no values|shortname}} → A test no values

Lua script error messages

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}} →
• {{Political party|A test no values}} →
• {{Political party|A test no values|color}} →

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.

• {{Political party|A test no values|color|error=ERROR}} → ERROR
• {{Political party|Not-a-party|color|error=ERROR}} → ERROR
