== 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 {{tl|Infobox New Zealand electorate}} into {{tl|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? <span style="font-family:Avenir, sans-serif">—&nbsp;<span style="border-radius:5px;padding:.1em .4em;background:#faeded">[[User:HTGS|HTGS]]</span>&nbsp;([[User talk:HTGS|talk]])</span> 08:02, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
:That's a [[GIGO]] issue. {{t|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 {{para|previous_mp_party}} [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk: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."

== 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.--[[Special:Contributions/90.64.64.22|90.64.64.22]] ([[User talk:90.64.64.22|talk]]) 17:42, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
:Does this organisation actually ''use'' the shorthand "Bridge" to describe themselves? [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk: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. [[Special:Contributions/90.64.70.48|90.64.70.48]] ([[User talk:90.64.70.48|talk]]) 20:39, 21 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 [https://www.libdems.org.uk/styleguide Liberal Democrat website] [[Special:Contributions/79.170.253.184|79.170.253.184]] ([[User talk:79.170.253.184|talk]]) 11:56, 12 July 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. Currently in Wikipedia it's represented by blue which represents conservative right-wing parties. So, I suggest to change the color to yellow which stands for liberalism.

== 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? [[User:Julius Schwarz|Julius Schwarz]] ([[User talk: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? [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk: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 ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Party_of_European_Socialists&diff=prev&oldid=1245318619 example 1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Renew_Europe&diff=prev&oldid=1245314239 example 2]).

:::From a "how easy is this to figure out for a relatively new editor", I am not really a fan of those example changes.

::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. [[User:Julius Schwarz|Julius Schwarz]] ([[User talk: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.

::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 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!
[[Special:Contributions/2001:A61:11A9:A601:475:5E48:DA20:B367|2001:A61:11A9:A601:475:5E48:DA20:B367]] ([[User talk: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. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk: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
::[[Special:Contributions/2001:A61:11A9:A601:40DF:684:A6B1:A178|2001:A61:11A9:A601:40DF:684:A6B1:A178]] ([[User talk: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.
