If the proposal is uncontroversial or has been discussed and is supported by consensus, editors may use {{edit template-protected}} to notify an administrator or template editor to make the requested edit.

Edit request 13 September 2024 (La France Insoumise)

This edit request to Module:Political party/L has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Description of suggested change:

La France Insoumise's red is currently too similar to the reds of PS and PCF for my liking, I'd like to propose a return to its more official purple , the party's article describes the red as "customary", but in almost all media I personally see, purple is more commonly used, plus, as I said, the colour has poor contrast with the country's other left-wing and left-leaning parties' colours. What are people's thoughts on this?

I notified Wikipedia talk:WikiProject France, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Politics/Political parties, and Talk:La France Insoumise of this request on 27 September. If there is no reply by 4 October, I think we can safely assume this is uncontrovertial. --Ahecht (TALK

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. I see that they use that color for links on their website, but it's not in their official logo. --Ahecht (TALK

Never mind about the colour then, I get what you're saying. Would you still be able to add the party's abbreviation? Infinite Hydra (talk) 15:57, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Infinite Hydra I had to modify the module to allow it to take "default" as the color value, but this is now

Done. --Ahecht (TALK

Colorado Center Party

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Description of suggested change:

The Colorado Center Party has values for its short name and color in the module, but neither show up on articles such as 2024 Colorado House of Representatives election#District 34. I have not a clue as to why it isn't working. If someone could make the Colorado Center Party appear in election boxes with the shortname "center" and a purple hue, that'd be great! FoamingInDenver (talk) 20:47, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't an edit request, it's a request to figure out what's wrong with the template. For what it's worth the party is listed in /C, so it's likely an issue with either implementation or the template call on the article in question. I'll try to take a look but other eyes would be appreciated. Primefac (talk) 15:07, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Huh... it was the module... someone added an extra bit of code that caused it to point to the wrong place (which incidentally didn't exist).

Fixed the problem and it looks like it should be working as intended. Primefac (talk) 15:13, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Primace हिन्दू खतरे में हैं (talk) 10:19, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@हिन्दू खतरे में हैं Did you mean UDA or UDF? There are currently five political parties named "United Democratic Alliance" supported in the template (they're the ones listed at United Democratic Alliance) and a handful that are abbreviated UDF. Based on your username, I'm assuming you're referring to United Democratic Alliance (Nagaland), but you'll need to specify. In addition, you'll also need to provide a source that the party uses that color. --Ahecht (TALK

Description of suggested change: Should the Bucktails not be added? They ran dozens of candidates for Congress from New York and won several elections. See here. I have no idea what the colors would be or if there should be a separate entry for their rivals, the Clintonians, though I suspect those were basically just the mainline Democratic-Republicans.

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 29 November 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected module at Module:Political party/T.
(edit · history · last · links · transclusion count · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

For languages not using latin

Hi, I am trying to do Module:Political party/ submodules in cyrillic. How to do that? Enkhsaihan2005 (talk) 08:25, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How to code Module:Political party that it requires cyrillic submodules Enkhsaihan2005 (talk) 08:28, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This module is split into submodules based on the letters of the alphabet, if only because having one module with all of the parties would just be too massive. I suspect you could do something similar for Cyrillic, i.e. have one submodule for each letter that a party starts with. Everything else should follow the same rules from there. Primefac (talk) 12:41, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is in cyrillic it doesn't work Enkhsaihan2005 (talk) 20:20, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What isn't working? Primefac (talk) 12:50, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have to put every political party into Module:Political party/1 because it wants only latin letters (for example I created Module:Political party/В etc and it isn't working) Enkhsaihan2005 (talk) 14:37, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. I am surprised getFirstLetter(party) only works for Latin, but if that is the case then I do not know how to get around that issue. I have cross-posted to a few other places, hopefully someone that knows will be able to help. Primefac (talk) 14:54, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change line 18 to:

if mw.ustring.match(index, '%A') then

string.match() works on bytes, not unicode characters.

—Trappist the monk (talk) 15:11, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, all of the string functions should be replaced, like this. If that is not done, the module will fail to fetch color data. Snævar (talk) 18:17, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sort of.

return string.upper(index) – certainly; I missed that one
text = text:match('(%S.-)%s*$') – this just trims leading/trailing ascii whitespace ("\t\r\n\f\v ")
if out_type == 'color' and string.find(return_value, '#') then – # is an ascii character
return_value = string.gsub(return_value, '#', '#') – # is an ascii character

For those latter three, no need for the slower mw.ustring functions.
