Please add More Police Officers for Thames Valley, with color #003399, running in 2024 PCC election for Thames Valley Police Area
i.e. add this line to the parties module
["More Police Officers for Thames Valley"] = {abbrev = "", color = "#003399", shortname = "",}
/info/en/?search=2024_England_and_Wales_police_and_crime_commissioner_elections
The color #003399
is used widely in the logo and on their website (

Change: ["Independent Oxford Alliance"] = {abbrev = "IOA", color = "#702CA1", shortname = "Oxford Alliance",},
to: ["Independent Oxford Alliance"] = {abbrev = "IOA", color = "#702CA1", shortname = "",},
Rationale: While the full name obviously is pretty cumbersome, using Oxford Alliance as the shortname seems problematic as it 1) gives the impression to less knowledgeable viewers of the 2024 Oxford City Council election (and any further relevant pages in the future) that Oxford Alliance is the "proper" party name, which would be incorrect as 2) I don't believe the name Oxford Alliance is used anywhere. As far as I can tell they both identify themselves and are identified by others solely by the name Independent Oxford Alliance or IOA. Hence I believe it would be more appropriate to remove the shortname or replace it with the initialism. Hope this helps.

I saw this Reddit post where the text Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "&". appeared on every single list of political parties per country, and it seems to come this module. It doesn't happen for me, and they said it was fixed when they switch to beta features to be on. Does anyone know what could cause this? ― Jochem van Hees ( talk) 16:34, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
<div style="background-color:
. In
Template:Composition bar, you can find that in the wikitext followed by an if conditional that results in {{{hex|{{{3|#CCCCCC}}}}}}
. In the articles, the third parameter is set to
Template:Party color, which uses this module. So unless somehow the if statement in the composition bar template causes this, it's this module. However, as I'm not so fluent in Lua I haven't been able to track the problem further. ―

which does call this module. I am still not convinced that this issue is due to this module, though, given it seems to be working for most folks (and it's not throwing errors in
Category:Pages with script errors). Maybe worth a cross-post to
WP:VPT.

22:09, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Communist Party of India (Marxist) and Communist Party of India both are given exactly same colour which makes it difficult to distinguish between them in Wiki articles, especially tables.
e.g.) 2024 Indian general election in Kerala.
Party | Flag | Symbol | Leader | Contesting Seats | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Communist Party of India (Marxist) | M.V. Govindan | 15 | |||
Communist Party of India | Binoy Viswam | 4 | |||
Kerala Congress (M) | Jose K. Mani | 1 | |||
Total | 20 |
Request to please change the 'Party colour' of one of them by couple of shades so that they can be easily distinguished.

Could you please add the following party/political coalition color, which is running for the 2024 Mongolian parliamentary election:
["The Civic Unity Party (Mongolia)"] = {abbrev = "CUP", color = "#0A63B5", shortname = "Civic Unity",}
["National Coalition (Mongolia)"] = {abbrev = "", color = "#066B55", shortname = "National Coalition",}
["Liberté party (Mongolia)"] = {abbrev = "", color = "#0053A5", shortname = "Liberte",}
and please change name and color code for National Labor Party (Mongolia), since it has changed name into HUN party in 2022. The hex value extracted from emblem of the party is #631E92. There is no abbreviation for party name.
So, please change:
["National Labor Party (Mongolia)"] = {abbrev = "NLP", color = "#6D3290", shortname = "",},
to:
["HUN party"] = {abbrev = "", color = "#631E92", shortname = "HUN",},

While I am personally against it, I thought I would get opinions as to whether it makes sense to include icons in this module. For explanation, there is
currently a TFD for a group of Taiwanese political party templates which also include an icon (e.g. {{Congress Party Alliance}}
→
‹See Tfd›
Congress Party Alliance) and one of the main concerns I can see about the deletion is the loss of the icon (which I find personally unnecessary but I am just one voice). We already have some scuffles over party colours, would adding icons open the door to even more edit warring?
