Module talk:Political party

Edit request 13 September 2024 (La France Insoumise)

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?

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)

@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

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)

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)

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)

@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.

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)

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

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)

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

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

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)

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)

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)

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)

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.

Request

I have a request for the Hellenic political party Voice of Reason. The color of the party used on the module, is actually the secondary color. As you could see from a) most of the presentations by media, b) the main color at the party's website, and the main color at the emblem of the party (the letters of the party's name), dark blue (#020C6A) is the main color, and not the light blue. Could somebody update it? Greek Rebel (talk) 12:22, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

@Greek Rebel: Fixed. Cheers, Number 57 12:32, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

@Number 57 Thanks! Greek Rebel (talk) 12:40, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

I have fundamental issues with the whole thing

I have fundamental issues with the whole thing, because

• in most cases there are no sources for the colour, it's WP:OR
• in many cases parties are using a combination of colours and not just "the" colour
• what, generally is "the" colour of a party? The main colour used in its marketing (who defines "main")? The party colours as defined in the statutes? The colour the party is referred to in the media? The colour used (by whom?) in election result graphics?
• what happens, if several of the above are (widely) differing?
• a WP page about a specific party is not editable regarding the colour, even if blatantly wrong!

2001:A61:11A9:A601:475:5E48:DA20:B367 (talk) 10:23, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

Speaking very generally, this module isn't strictly giving "the" colour of a political party. As you say, colours are gathered from a variety of sources; political parties aren't necessarily known for publishing acceptable hex values as part of their identity. If something seems to be blatantly wrong, it can be discussed here and potentially changed. Primefac (talk) 13:02, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

it should be editable on the respective page, and not via a discussion on a template page! I arrived here because I wanted to change the colours of Siumut from the blatantly wrong "gold" (before 2021), but I was not able there on the page.

And given the fact that the colours are "from a variety of sources", we either have edit wars or lengthy discussions.

Siumut is blatantly wrong, but a lot of others are dubious at least. And I would love to see

• the sources
• and the way how someone arrived at the respective colour from the sources, so one could contest the conclusion

2001:A61:11A9:A601:40DF:684:A6B1:A178 (talk) 00:47, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

This module exists to give consistency across multiple articles for the same value (e.g. the colour of the Siumut party); having the values hard-coded into specific articles and then transcluded onto every other page that would need those colour values just isn't feasible. If there is a dispute about the colour choices for a particular party, then by all means discuss it on the talk page of the party's article; if there is a consensus to change, a simple cross-post here can be made and the value updated (or, if the editor is Extended Confirmed, they can just change it directly). Discussing changes here is also acceptable, though I do note that there are likely fewer talk page watchers to engage in discussion. Primefac (talk) 12:13, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

According its new statute, ([1]) Niki changed its colors. I think an update should be happen here. The color according the statute (the statute literally gives us the colorcode) is #910048. It is also in the new logo. Could somebody change it? Hellenic Rebel (talk) 22:01, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
