Politics: Political parties This module is within the scope of WikiProject Politics, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of politics on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.PoliticsWikipedia:WikiProject PoliticsTemplate:WikiProject Politicspolitics This module is supported by Political parties task force.

Module:Political party is permanently protected from editing because it is a heavily used or highly visible module. Substantial changes should first be proposed and discussed here on this page. 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.

{{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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

To specify state green party and retain colour for maine election pages - include Maine Green Independent Party in definition?

   ["Green Party of Hawaii"] = "Green Party (US)",
   ["Maine Green Independent Party"] = "Green Party (US)",

["Green Party of Michigan"] = "Green Party (US)", Bernkastel5 (talk) 15:59, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done at Module:Political party/M due to alphabetical order. From the docs page: "Note that the alternate name of a party should be stored in its corresponding letter-based subpage; "Alabama Democratic Party" is listed in /A even though it is an alternate name for "Democratic Party (US)" (which is stored in /D)."

Description of suggested change: Request to change the party color for **DuterTen** to #015420. The current color for Partido Demokratiko Pilipino (PDP) does not reflect the color used in official campaign materials. The green (#015420) is consistently used on their posters and other visual branding.

Request to change the colors of the Massachusetts Democratic Party from the standard U.S. Democratic Party blue to the variant of Boston Blue #4197CD, the shade used in all logos and promotional materials since 2018. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Swipe4004 (talk • contribs) 04:23, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. To editor Swipe4004: the U.S. Democratic Party blue is  , and your code for "Boston Blue" yields  . How were you able to come up with that color code, #4197CD? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 23:13, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Description of suggested change: While using {{Full party name with colour}}, the output for the party colour of the Communist Party of India and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) is different, but the full party name for both these parties is the same as shown below.

style="width: 2px; color:inherit; background-color: #f50222;" data-sort-value="Communist Party of India" | | scope="row" style="text-align: left;" | Communist Party of India

style="width: 2px; color:inherit; background-color: #cc0d0d;" data-sort-value="Communist Party of India (Marxist)" | | scope="row" style="text-align: left;" | Communist Party of India

Please change the full party name for the Communist Party of India (Marxist) when using this template. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rohitm2000 (talk • contribs) 04:02, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Both {{Full party name with color}} and {{Party name with color}} needs fixing and the issue has been raised multiple times at Template talk:Party name with color but no one has fixed it yet. So, I'd suggest to take the issue to WP:VPT so someone could fix it. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 13:28, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I ask for the addition of Pirates as an abbreviation of the Czech Pirate Party, as it is a translation of the legally registered Czech abbreviation. Thanks. Kroulacek (talk) 09:52, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
