Module:Political party/X

Within each data submodule are two local groups: local alternate and local full.

Alternate party names[edit]

The alternate group is for alternate names of a party. The following is an example of alternate names for the Labour Party (UK):

local alternate = {
    ....
 ["Labour and Co-operative"] = "Labour Party (UK)",
 ["Labour Co-operative"] = "Labour Party (UK)",
    ...
}

The first entry in square brackets is the alternate name, and the second entry only in quotes is the name found in the full group, seen below. 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).

Table values[edit]

local full = {
    ....
 ["Labour Party (UK)"] = {abbrev = "Lab", color = "#E4003B", shortname = "Labour",},
    ...
}

There are three values stored for each party:

• The abbreviation (abbrev).
• The color of the party (color), which can either be a hex triplet or a basic color name.
• A shorter name for the party (shortname).

The values added to these parameters need not be unique from other parties in this module, unlike the primary name of a party.

If a name value is not stored for a party, the module will attempt to return the other "short" name variant before returning the input. Thus, if abbrev is stored but shortname is not, regardless of which value is asked for it will return the abbrev value.

Color values[edit]

-- Constant data used by [[Module:Political party]]

local alternate = {
 
}

local full = {
 ["X Party"] = {abbrev = "", color = "#6CB0B3", shortname = "",},
 ["Xiluva"] = {abbrev = "", color = "#EF5323", shortname = "",},
 ["Ximoko Party"] = {abbrev = "", color = "yellow", shortname = "",},
 ["Xixón Sí Puede"] = {abbrev = "", color = "#502553", shortname = "",},
}

return {
 full = full,
 alternate = alternate,
}
