Parameters

Parameter	Description
1	The type of party under consideration; can be either: `european_entity` (a European political party, meaning entities duly registered with the Authority for European Political Parties and European Political Foundations, or several European political alliances); or `national_party`. This parameter is mandatory.
2	The type of data requested and pulled from Wikidata, from the following list: `seats`: the number of seats of one or more entities in one or more institutions (P1410); `seat share`: the share of seats of one or more entities in one or more institutions (based on P1410); `seat composition bar`: a composition bar showing the seats of one or more entities in one or more institutions (based on P1410); `acronym`: the short name of the entity (P1813); `color`: the official colour of the entity as a hex code (P465); `country`: the country in which the entity is registered (P17); `foundation date`: the date on which the entity was founded (P571); `individual members`: the number of individual members of the entity (P2124); `individual members date`: the reference date for the number of individual members of the entity (based on P2124); `label`: the name of the entity; `official name`: the official long-form name of the entity (P1448); `parliamentary group`: the parliamentary group the entity belongs to (P4100); `public funding`: the amount of public funding received by the entity (P12919); or `website`: the official website of the entity (P856), stripped from "https", "http" and "www" prefixes. This parameter is mandatory.
3	The name of the entity, from the following list: in all cases, the name can be omitted when the module is called from the Wikipedia page of the entity (alternatively, `thisparty` can be used to refer to the entity in question; for European entities: the acronym of the entity (see list below) or its Wikidata qID; and for national parties: the Wikidata qID of the party. This parameter is optional when called from the page of the entity in question. The following acronyms are used for European parties: European People's Party: EPP Party of European Socialists: PES European Conservatives and Reformists: ECR Patriots.eu: Patriots Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party: ALDE European Green Party: EGP Europe of Sovereign Nations: ESN European Left Alliance for the People and the Planet: ELA Party of the European Left: EL European Democratic Party: EDP European Free Alliance: EFA European Christian Political Party: ECPP In addition, the following European political alliances are covered: Animal Politics EU: Animal European Communist Action: ECA European Pirate Party: PPEU Democracy in Europe Movement 2025: DiEM25 Volt Europa: Volt In addition, four special parameters can be used instead of European parties (so not when `\|party_type=national_party`): all: for the seats of all European parties combined; none: for the seats not occupied by members of European parties (not for lower and upper houses); and ind: for independent politicians on the European Council (only). Notes: the capitalisation of parameters does not matter; given the cost of calling Wikidata when using a specific qID (i.e., not calling Wikidata from a linked Wikipedia page), the special parameter "thisparty" should be used whenever this module is called from the page of a European party; and since the listed European political alliances are not European political parties, they do not count towards to sum of seats occupied by European political parties, nor the seats not occupied by European political parties.
4	The name of the institution, from the following list: European Parliament: EP European Commission: EC European Council: EUCO European Committee of the Regions: COR Lower houses in EU member states: ms-lower-house (alternatively, "lower-house" and "lower" also work) Upper houses in EU member states: ms-upper-house (alternatively, "upper-house" and "upper" also work) Notes: For lower and upper houses for national parties, the module will automatically determine the relevant body, using this table; For lower and upper houses for European parties, the module will sum the number of seats of their member parties across member states; and For the European Parliament for national parties, the module will automatically use the member state's number of seats in the Parliament. This parameter is mandatory when `data_type` is `seat`, `seat share`, or `seat composition bar`.
extra parameters	The following extra parameters can also be used, depending on the requested `data_type`: all `data_types`: `reference` will display the reference when `\|reference=yes` (this parameter is ignored for the seats of lower or upper houses of European entities, as many national figures are summed); `seat share`: `constituency` will override the institution's number of seats (for instance when the party is part of a special constituency); `seat composition bar`: `constituency` will override the institution's number of seats (for instance when the party is part of a special constituency); `width` will specify the width of the bar and can have the following formats: "80" (default unit is pixel), "80px", "80em", or "80%" (without spaces); `percent` will display the percentage when `\|percent=yes`; `bar-color`, `background-color`, and `border` will override default colours when provided an hexadecimal value (e.g."#123ABC", including the pound sign) or a recognised colour (e.g. "red"). all other `data_types`: `verbose`: will display an error message when no value exists on Wikidata, as well as a relevant link, when `\|verbose=yes` (otherwise the field is empty). These parameters are optional.

Related templates

The module is directly implemented by two templates:

Template:EUPP data, which presets |party_type=european_entity;
Template:Political party data, which presets |party_type=national_party; and
Template:EU institution seats, which only returns the number of seats of EU institutions (including all lower or upper houses combined).

Test cases

The module has two testcase pages:

Module:European and national party data/testcases composition bar for the seat composition bar data type; and
Module:European and national party data/testcases for all other data types.

Updating the module

The module draws its data from two sources:

Wikidata for all data points returned by the module; and
commons:Data:Mapping of national parties members of European parties to lower and upper houses.tab which maps the national member parties of European political parties and also serves to link member states (and, therefore, national parties) to their lower and upper houses.
