Help?: ‘Independent’ not linking correctly

At the very bottom of the infobox of Ikaroa-Rāwhiti, the previous MP is listed as independent, with “Independent” being passed via {{Infobox New Zealand electorate}} into {{Party abbrev linked}}, and returning “Ind”. But for whatever reason, the link returned is Independent, and not Independent politician. Any ideas where this is going wrong? — HTGS (talk) 08:02, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

That's a GIGO issue. {{party abbrev linked}} returns a link to the input value, not the value passed by the module; if you want it to link to Independent politician then you'll need to put that as the |previous_mp_party= Primefac (talk) 11:35, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Edit request 19 August 2024

I would like to suggest an edit change due to inaccuracy for the Direction – Social Democracy.

The current use of "SMER–SD" as an abbreviation is incorrect because "Smer" is a word, not an acronym. In Slovak, "Smer" means "Direction," and it’s not an initialism where each letter stands for a separate word. Therefore, it should be written as "Smer–SD" with only the first letter capitalized, which accurately reflects its status as a proper noun, not an abbreviation. Additionally, using all capitals misleadingly suggests that it is an acronym, which it is not, and this goes against proper linguistic conventions.

However, an even better solution would be to simply use "Smer" without the "–SD." The hyphen in "Smer–SD" implies the connection of two distinct entities, which is not accurate since "SD" merely functions as an adjective (Social Democracy), not a separate entity. This would align more closely with both the linguistic and political nature of the term.

Moreover, it is more practical, for example when listing the coalition in a results table. Instead of the potentially confusing "SMER–SD–Hlas–SNS" or "Smer–SD–Hlas–SNS," simply using "Smer–Hlas–SNS" provides a clearer and more streamlined presentation.

The same principle applies to Voice – Social Democracy, which is currently incorrectly abbreviated as "HLAS–SD." 90.64.64.22 (talk) 08:41, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

 Done. Primefac (talk) 11:56, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello, thank you. However, you changed HLAS–SD to HLAS, but Hlas is also a word, it means "Voice", so the abbreviation should be Hlas, not HLAS.--90.64.64.22 (talk) 13:31, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

You were non-specific. Primefac (talk) 13:53, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Edit request 19 August 2024

I would like to suggest an edit change due to inaccuracy for Most–Híd.

"Most" means "bridge" in Slovak, and "Híd" means "bridge" in Hungarian, symbolizing the party’s role in connecting these two linguistic and cultural communities. Therefore, for greater clarity and accessibility to English-speaking audiences, the abbreviation "Bridge" should be used. This straightforward translation of both "Most" and "Híd" effectively conveys the party’s mission of bridging Slovak and Hungarian communities. Additionally, using "Bridge" might improve searchability and recognition in English-language contexts.

Moreover, using "Bridge" as the abbreviation would enhance clarity and coherence in coalition lists or political alliances, such as Smer–SNS–Bridge (government from 2016 to 2020). This format is more concise and user-friendly than Smer–SNS–Most–Híd, which could be cumbersome and less recognizable in general usage.--90.64.64.22 (talk) 17:42, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Does this organisation actually use the shorthand "Bridge" to describe themselves? Primefac (talk) 12:27, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Most–Híd never uses the abbreviation "Bridge" in Slovak or English, and the party exclusively refers to itself by its full name. The correct form is Most–Híd with an en dash, reflecting the official name and branding. Currently, Wikipedia uses a hyphen (Most-Híd), which must be changed to the en dash for accuracy.

Given that Most–Híd literally means "Bridge" in Slovak (most) and Hungarian (híd), "Bridge" could be considered for clarity in English contexts, particularly in coalition listings like Smer–SNS–Bridge. That is why I propose this alternative to the abbreviation Most–Híd with an en dash. 90.64.70.48 (talk) 20:39, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

If they refer to themselves as Most–Híd then we will do the same. I have fixed the endash issue. Primefac (talk) 15:56, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Edit request relating to multiple parties

As far as I am aware, the following parties’ colours are not correctly stored: (might be outdated)

-Renew Europe (European Parliament group, not a formal political party): Its colour returned by the template is yellow, while its official colour is light (sky) blue

-Liberal Democrats (UK): the Liberal Democrats official colours are yellow (FAA61A) and black (charcoal/process black) or (secondary) navy and coral. The template spits out what appears to be gold (also what the article infobox says) but this is contradicted by the official Liberal Democrat website 79.170.253.184 (talk) 11:56, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

The website confirms that the colour is FAA61A. It calls itself yellow, but it looks to me like orange Cal3000000 (talk) 11:31, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Change the color of Indian National Congress

User:Primefac Indian National Congress is a liberal party which has not one official color. It's official colors are colors of Indian flag.

Integration with Wikidata

Hi,

I am interested in the use of Wikidata data in Wikipedia, especially for infoboxes. The core idea, of course, is to avoid duplication of work and there are many instances where this could be beneficial.

Has this been discussed previously? Are there initiatives in this sense? Julius Schwarz (talk) 18:53, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Are you talking about this in regard specifically to this module, or are you just asking for general opinions? Primefac (talk) 19:54, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

This discussion started in User talk:Julius Schwarz#Linking party colours to Wikidata, after they started replacing the use of Template:Party color with links to Wikidata (example 1, example 2). Brainiac242 (talk) 20:15, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

From a "how easy is this to figure out for a relatively new editor", I am not really a fan of those example changes. My own personal bugbear with WD has always been how bloody obscure and unintuitive everything is; if I saw those edits in the wild I would have no idea what the WD calls were doing or even how I would check what values they access. Primefac (talk) 10:07, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

I guess this can be a broader discussion, but my question is specifically for this module, since this is in relation to what I mostly edit. I have worked to keep both Wikipedia and Wikidata up to date, and it seems like a lot of duplication, so I am interested in pushing for more integration -- maybe starting with pilot initiatives -- and the first question is whether this has been attempted or discussed before. Julius Schwarz (talk) 07:28, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

It has been discussed before, mostly in relation to biographical infoboxes, where the consensus is that WD is to be used very sparingly if at all because of the long-standing issues WD has with verifiability and sourcing as it relates to BLP-related matters. I haven't seen any of those types of discussions pop up lately so I honestly couldn't tell you the general feeling about WD, but my general advice would be that if you see duplication between the projects, get consensus before going around and mass-changing them; there are still a lot of folks who will either find the edits unnecessary or (for some individuals) outright problematic. Primefac (talk) 10:05, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback @Primefac and fair points. I have already reverted changes after a discussion made me realise I had been too hasty. I also tested some integration and it does come with a few challenges, from the point of view of the layout already. Julius Schwarz (talk) 11:45, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Dark mode compatibility

Any chance this can be updated to make it friendlier to dark mode? This could be as simple as using class="mw-no-invert" to avoid colors becoming washed out/reversed, but curious what others would think would be a good solution here. —Locke Cole • t • c 17:02, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

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.

This isn't an edit request, it's a request to figure out what's wrong with the template.

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.

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.

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)

Request (Voice of Reason)

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)

Piechart needs color, not HTML

{{Pie chart}} uses Module:Piechart which generates pie charts such as at 2024 Indian general election#Results. A discussion at Piechart talk concerns a recently noticed problem.

Module:Piechart needs a color such as #FF9933 for Bharatiya Janata Party. However, {{party color|Bharatiya Janata Party}} outputs #FF9933. Module:Political party#L-104 seems to have been escaping the # for HTML display for a long time. Is there a mechanism to get #FF9933 instead? Or, should any module needing the color un-escape the output from this module? Johnuniq (talk) 20:37, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

You could try and replace in Module:Piechart the result string and replace # with "#" (the opposite of line 104). Gonnym (talk) 06:47, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, I added that workaround a while ago and it appears it will be needed forever. Perhaps no other template/module needs a plain "#" but it would be good if Module:Political_party at least documented what it outputs. Johnuniq (talk) 07:22, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Infobox issue

I've noticed an issue with the module and {{Infobox election}}. The latter does not accept written colour names (e.g. 'blue'), only hexadecimal colour codes. I'm guessing it's better to fix the template rather than the module (as many parties listed in the modules have colour names), but would anyone be able to do it? Specifically Module:Infobox election will need fixing. {{Infobox legislative election}} works fine with colour names. Number 57 15:52, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

@Number 57 I don't think the module changed that behavior -- the pre-module template always inserted a "#" before the value in colorN=, which would prevent named colors from being used. In any case, it's an easy enough fix, so I've modified Module:Infobox election/sandbox (used by {{Infobox election/sandbox}}) to be a little more intelligent about when it inserts a "#". Please try it out and let me know if it works as expected. --Ahecht (TALK

Allow a party to have multiple colors over time

Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2025_October_13#Liberal_Democrats_(UK,_2025) brought up the issue of a party which changed colors recently. Editors created the oddly formatted redirect Liberal Democrats (UK, 2025) to allow this template to show the old colors if Liberal Democrats (UK) was used and the new colors if the 2025 redirect was used. @Chessrat suggested that instead of this workaround we could update this template to take a year parameter. I'm not sure whether this works with the template but this rather than the RfD seems like the place to discuss that option. Rusalkii (talk) 21:48, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Thanks- if anyone has any better ideas I'd like to hear them.

The only other example I know of a party which has changed its colour is Yamina- in that case editors have put the new colour into the template and just put the old colour code in manually where needed (#CAD93B), but this is not a feasible option for the Liberal Democrats given how many articles would need to be updated. Chessrat ^{(talk, contributions)} 22:20, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Bit out of my jurisdiction here, but would version number be better than year? Not so much to allow for the extremely highly unlikely scenario of more than one change in a year, but more pertinently in this case perhaps, to avoid the implication of an effective cut-off date of 1st January. That is how the LD change has been implemented so far, although the change was actually announced at their conference on 20 September 2025. Using a version number rather than year would avoid confusion if the change were implemented part way through a year. Presumably, the version number (or year if you like) would be an optional parameter and only used for the second and subsequent versions, so that its omission defaults to the original colour.
Also, for more on how and when to apply the change, see related talk topic Talk:Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election#Liberal Democrats Rebrand. 78.145.178.233 (talk) 07:32, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

With the way the module and its data are currently coded, the exact method ("year" or "version") doesn't really matter (I've though of at least two ways to do each) but it would be much easier to code by year; once you get past one or two changes, was the colour you wanted version 2? Version 3? Version 5? I'm not entirely convinced this is an issue that needs solving (though I do understand the concerns raised at the RFD) but from a purely technical perspective I don't see any issues with making this change. Primefac (talk) 22:26, 2 November 2025 (UTC)

Color of Liberal Democrats UK

Hi So I'm moving an earlier discussion to this talk page, concernign the color of the party Liberal Democrats UK. So sometime last year, the color of the Liberal Democrats was updated to match a new branding by the party. This resulted in the party now having 2 colors in the module. Both of these are being used at the moment, where pages concerning the parties before the branding, are colored another color. ["Liberal Democrats (UK)"] = {abbrev = "Lib Dem", color = "#FAA61A", shortname = "Liberal Democrats",},

["Liberal Democrats (UK, 2025)"] = {abbrev = "Lib Dem", color = "#FF6400", shortname = "Liberal Democrats",},

I believe this is bit too much, and confusing. Why have 2 colors for the party, instead of just one. This can cause some confusion, as to whether an orange LD is the same as a yellow LD, as they look different. Thomediter (talk) 10:46, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

BalkanianActuality (talk) 01:49, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

The Cabinet of Avdullah Hoti#Composition link works correctly now. Let me know if you still see a problem. Seems the way to fix this was to eliminate the "short name". Apparently templates look for a short name first, and then look for the abbreviation if the short name is missing. Hope this helps! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. – welcome! – 03:58, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

​ Please don't just go eliminating shortnames; {{Party name with color}} and other templates that wrap this have an |abbrev= parameter that can set the desired value. Primefac (talk) 23:38, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

To editor Primefac: self-reverted – now how do we fix the ones at the link above, Cabinet of Avdullah Hoti#Composition, where the {{Cabinet table minister}} template is used with parameter |ministerx_party=Serb List (Kosovo)? These use the short name over the abbreviation unless the short name is eliminated. I can't find an |abbrev= parameter anywhere in that. I looked at a bunch of these in this module and found none that had both an abbreviation and a short name. They either had one or the other or neither. Couldn't find one that had both. That's why I took out the short name when I added the abbreviation, and that made the {{Cabinet table minister}} template at the above link use the abbreviation, "SL". To editor BalkanianActuality: want you to be aware of this issue. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. – welcome! – 00:03, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

In the short term, let's just leave it as-is. From the looks of it, a lot of these "short names" are just removing the parenthetical disambiguator. I don't know of any situation where we want that content to be included in the invocation, so I'll see if I can get the module to strip out those bits. If that works (and I don't muck up 50% of extant transclusions) then those minus-parens shortnames can be removed, hopefully solving this issue for any similar party that doesn't have a shortname. If I can't get it by the week's end, I'll restore the lack of shortname for this specific use case. Primefac (talk) 00:18, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

Okay, and thank you much for that! Sounds like it's way above my pay grade. ;>) P.I. Ellsworth , ed. – welcome! – 00:30, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

There are multiple examples of parties having part of their name in parentheses (e.g. Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) and Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist)), so automatically excluding it would not be a good idea.

The issue here has arisen due to the problematic nature of how information was migrated across to this module from the predecessor templates; there were previously templates for displaying party names to be used in tables ('abbrev' templates) and templates for displaying party names in infoboxes ('short name' templates). The names of those templates were not descriptions of the contents, just a convenient template name. However, when the modules were created, rather than create two fields with contents that matched the two sets of templates, the party names were mixed up, so if the content of a 'short name' template was an abbreviation, it was moved to the 'abbrev' field, and vice versa. Number 57 00:54, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

I wasn't suggesting removing the parens from any |shortname= I was suggesting removing it from any potential invocation where there wasn't a shortname. For example, if we had Party Party (Geneva) with no shortname or abbrev, a shortname call would return just Party Party. Otherwise, we would have to add |shortname=Party Party to the line. Primefac (talk) 01:09, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

That's what I was referring to though – what happens if there is a party currently without a shortname but with parentheses in their names. For example, Communist Party of Nepal (Unity Centre) or Communist Party of Spain (Marxist–Leninist) currently do not have shortnames in the template. If you set up some sort of automated process, it would remove it from these two parties' names if they were called in some context. Number 57 01:15, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

Number 57, the comparison with Nepalese party examples does not seem applicable here, as the “Kosovo” parenthetical in Serb List serves only as disambiguation from similarly named defunct parties in Montenegro and should not be treated as a functional shortname. BalkanianActuality (talk) 18:42, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

Agreed; no one (that I know of) is using this module to link to parties, just to display a name; from the uses of the counterexample above I am only seeing colour calls (not names). To restate what i said above, I don't see an instance where someone would be looking for the name of a party and wanting to include the parenthetical (unless it is hardcoded into the stored shortname or abbrev). That being said, I have no issue being wrong, and if things get broken monumentally (I will of course sandbox fist) I will revert. Primefac (talk) 09:47, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

We seem to be talking at cross purposes here. My concern is that if you create a piece of code that automatically fills in the shortname field with party names minus bits in parentheses, should a party that has part of its proper name in parentheses be listed in an election infobox or certain types of table (which call on the shortname field), it will be listed in that infobox or table without the bit in parentheses; for example, Communist Party of Nepal (Unity Centre) would appear as Communist Party of Nepal, which is clearly not what we should be wanting to happen. Number 57 20:17, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

I see (and understand) your concern, and it's not unreasonable. What we have here, as mentioned above, is a module that was built to be a repository of information but with existing templates using that information in different ways. We built in a safeguard to deal with most of those issues, which is having the module return basically "whatever is available" so that (for example) if a shortname is asked for but not present, we assume that an abbrev is desired, because in "the old days" before this module that very well might have been the intention. That unfortunately backfires when both are present and abbrev really was the intended value.

In this particular case (and I suspect, a large number of similar ones based on what I've seen over the years) we have a shortname that is present whose sole purpose is to remove the parenthetical disambiguator, meaning that it is occasionally blocking the appropriate/desired abbrev being returned. For these cases, it makes more sense to remove the shortname and strip the () automatically. I genuinely don't know of, but I have yet to see, any case where a political party with a disambiguator is displayed using this template without removing that dab or otherwise shortening the name (see e.g. most of the other Communist Parties of Nepal). In other words, your concern is a perfectly valid one, but if it doesn't actually happen it's like prepping for snowfall in the middle of the summer.

Now, I have no issue being wrong here, but on the balance of how I see this going I genuinely don't see the proposed change (stripping the parens if there are no abbrev/shortname) causing any significant change to the visual display in the articles. If it does, however, I will of course reverse the edit, and we can reevaluate the situation here (which, in fairness, may be as simply as just removing the single shortname that prompted this whole mess). I'd rather clean up the code here, though, than try and nitpick every template out there, and this seems like a reasonable way to do it. Primefac (talk) 16:26, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

Paine Ellsworth, thank you for the clarification. The edit had a practical purpose: to display the abbreviation “SL” in usages such as {{Cabinet table minister}}, where shortname currently overrides abbrev. The “Kosovo” parenthetical is only for disambiguation and should not function as a shortname. Until a broader module-level fix exists, restoring the configuration that displays “SL” would be reasonable. BalkanianActuality (talk) 18:40, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

Please be patient. Editor Primefac has assured us above that if the issue in the module can't be solved by the end of the week, the edit I self-reverted will be reinstated. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. – welcome! – 21:48, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

I'll be implementing shortly; it will probably be a good few hours before the module change shows up across the project, and I'll be unavailable for a few hours after making said edit, but unless things are actually breaking I would please ask that you hold off if things show differently so that any issues can be discussed.

Historical color for Lakas-NUCD (1991–2004)

I would like to open a discussion regarding color handling, specifically for historical party names and branding. I am not requesting an immediate change or addition of colors, but would like to seek consensus on how similar cases have been handled and whether a comparable approach may apply here.

As a point of comparison, in South Korea’s People Power Party, the party displays a red color when the current name is used in election infoboxes. However, its former name, United Future Party, is assigned a separate pink color in the module, even though it does not have a standalone article and only exists as a redirect. The infobox reflects the historical party name used at the time rather than retroactively applying the current party’s color.

In this context, I would like to discuss a similar scenario involving Lakas-NUCD, separate from Lakas-CMD (1991). Although Lakas-NUCD currently redirects to Lakas–CMD, its branding during the 1991–2004 period notably differed. Contemporary campaign materials from the 1992 Ramos campaign and the 1998 Jose “Joe” de Venecia campaign show consistent use of yellow, which was closely associated with People Power-era imagery.

The powder blue color currently used for Lakas-CMD (1991) appears to have been introduced later, during the 2004 campaign of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, following the party’s renaming to Lakas-CMD. Given this distinction, I would like to ask whether it would be appropriate to consider a separate module color entry for Lakas-NUCD, similar to how other historically distinct party names are handled.

Good day! I would kindly like to have the following Philippine political party colors changed:

• Nacionalista Democratico from #191970 to #0000FF and Nacionalista Democrata Pro-Independencia from #B22222 to #FF0000, as the recent change of the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP) party color to a darker shade of blue (#002868) led to visual similarities when the two party colors are used in an article or graph, such as the List of presidents of the Senate of the Philippines and the graphical timeline therein (I have preemptively changed the Democratico shade already to #0000FF to avoid confusion). The #0000FF will become a better representation of two rival parties alongside #FF0000 as they are historical factions of a previously-united Nacionalista Party. Other shades of blue are used in political lists such as Philippine legislative periods which include more or less three shades of blue:
  • Example:

	Nacionalista Democratico	LDP	Democrata
Original	#191970	#002868	#1434A4
If changed	#0000FF	#002868	#1434A4

• Kilusang Bagong Lipunan from #FE0000 to #CE1126, as featured in its party logo.
• Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) from #FFA500 to #FE7E00 (adapted from a previous party logo), as it shares a similar color to Laban ng Makabayang Masang Pilipino (LAMMP), an associated political coalition. When both are used in graphical timelines, it poses some issues in identification of the specific party or coalition such as in the Presidents of the Philippine Senate timeline.
  • Example:

	PMP	LAMMP
Original	#FFA500	#FFA500
If changed	#FE7E00	#FFA500

Furthermore, I would like to request to have the following party colors added:

Political party name	Color	Abbrev.	Short name

Not done for now: #E81B23 is red rather than black or white, please clarify. I'm also a bit skeptical of giving using a solid black or white color when I can't seem to find any branding material beyond the logo found in the registration log you linked. — chrs [talk] 06:14, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

My apologies, I forgot to replace the colour hex code.

The electoral commission page has a black and white emblem that I mistook for their official colours, which is not the case. However, I can't find any official colouration at the moment. In their election leaflet (which you can see here: https://bexley-is-bonkers.co.uk/blogs/2026/mar/3002.php, although its not a reliable source) they seem to use #009CD9 as their colour, a sort of light blue, although they never show their logo with this colouring. They do show their 'sister' party Chislehurst Matters (already in Module:Political_party/C) which uses #7BB52C which could also be used. LaosyLucy (talk) 05:29, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

@PLATEL: I think we should have both colors (pre and post change) for Popular Renewal and Popular Force. Panam2014 (talk) 16:37, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

PVV

Hi @Ætoms: what is the reason about the merging? Panam2014 (talk) 16:35, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

The entry "People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (2020)" was added by me when the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy changed its logo (and shade of blue) in 2020. By now, the new shade of blue has become the party's customary color, so that's why I merged the two separate entries for the VVD into a single entry (with the 2020 color hex). — Ætoms ^[talk] 22:04, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 21 April 2026

Please could you change "Wessex Regionalist Party" to "Wessex Regionalists" as this is the registered party name, as in use by the party and registered with the Electoral Commission

The party colour is officially web sea green #2e8b57.

There is no short name, and the party should appear as simply "Wessex Regionalists" (plural) in election boxes. Rho9998 (talk) 19:42, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Partly done: I've changed the (short)name and added the previous name as an alias; color has been kept the same since the difference is imperceptible. — chrs [talk] 21:22, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your change @Chrs. I understand the difference in colour is imperceptible, but since we have an official colour - #2E8B57 - I would appreciate it if you could change it to this. This colour is the web standard for sea green which was in use by the Chartists and the Levellers - the association is meaningful.

This change would be kindly appreciated.

@Rho9998: Would you be able to provide a source for that exact hex code being the official color? — chrs [talk] 04:30, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
