Change: ["Independent Oxford Alliance"] = {abbrev = "IOA", color = "#702CA1", shortname = "Oxford Alliance",},

to: ["Independent Oxford Alliance"] = {abbrev = "IOA", color = "#702CA1", shortname = "",},

Rationale: While the full name obviously is pretty cumbersome, using Oxford Alliance as the shortname seems problematic as it 1) gives the impression to less knowledgeable viewers of the 2024 Oxford City Council election (and any further relevant pages in the future) that Oxford Alliance is the "proper" party name, which would be incorrect as 2) I don't believe the name Oxford Alliance is used anywhere. As far as I can tell they both identify themselves and are identified by others solely by the name Independent Oxford Alliance or IOA. Hence I believe it would be more appropriate to remove the shortname or replace it with the initialism. Hope this helps.

"Unrecognised punctuation character" error
I saw this Reddit post where the text appeared on every single list of political parties per country, and it seems to come this module. It doesn't happen for me, and they said it was fixed when they switch to beta features to be on. Does anyone know what could cause this? &horbar;Jochem van Hees (talk) 16:34, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It does not come from this module; the screenshot in question is from, and the columns where there are errors involve #expr: functions calculating percentages. Raise the issue at Composition bar which generates those, though as far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with the page or the template. Primefac (talk) 16:52, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * if you look closely at that screenshot, the error comes immediately after the text . In Template:Composition bar, you can find that in the wikitext followed by an if conditional that results in  . In the articles, the third parameter is set to Template:Party color, which uses this module. So unless somehow the if statement in the composition bar template causes this, it's this module. However, as I'm not so fluent in Lua I haven't been able to track the problem further. &horbar;Jochem van Hees (talk) 21:09, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, that's egg on my face... yes, I didn't see that in the article itself is text such as  which does call this module. I am still not convinced that this issue is due to this module, though, given it seems to be working for most folks (and it's not throwing errors in Category:Pages with script errors). Maybe worth a cross-post to WP:VPT. Primefac (talk) 22:09, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Colour shade variation request
Communist Party of India (Marxist) and Communist Party of India both are given exactly same colour which makes it difficult to distinguish between them in Wiki articles, especially tables.

e.g.) 2024 Indian general election in Kerala. Request to please change the 'Party colour' of one of them by couple of shades so that they can be easily distinguished. Anish Viswa  06:32, 10 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I agree, colours should be changed slightly between CPI and CPI(M) since they usually contest in alliance, so are often seen together in results page. C1MM (talk) 04:35, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Edit request 21 June 2024
Could you please add the following party/political coalition color, which is running for the 2024 Mongolian parliamentary election:
 * The Civic Unity Party (Mongolia). The hex value extracted from the website of party is #0A63B5. The abbreviation is CUP.
 * National Coalition (Mongolia). The hex value extracted from the website of party is #066B55. There is no abbreviation for coalition name.
 * Liberté party (Mongolia). The hex value extracted from the website of party is #0053A5. There is no abbreviation for party name.

and please change name and color code for National Labor Party (Mongolia), since it has changed name into HUN party in 2022. The hex value extracted from emblem of the party is #631E92. There is no abbreviation for party name. So, please change: to:  Saruul 04 (talk) 18:54, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Edit Request 1 July 2024 – Make Independent Labor (Australia) distinguishable from Australian Labor Party
The de facto party colour used on Wikipedia for Independent Labor (Australia) is {{legend|#ff585e|#ff585e}} #ff585e, but this template uses {{Legend||}} which is difficult to distinguish from {{Legend||}} I'd appreciate this fix, thanks. – GlowstoneUnknown  (Talk)  02:59, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Edit Request 3 July 2024

Adding icons
While I am personally against it, I thought I would get opinions as to whether it makes sense to include icons in this module. For explanation, there is currently a TFD for a group of Taiwanese political party templates which also include an icon (e.g. ) and one of the main concerns I can see about the deletion is the loss of the icon (which I find personally unnecessary but I am just one voice). We already have some scuffles over party colours, would adding icons open the door to even more edit warring? Primefac (talk) 14:43, 4 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I'm also personally opposed to their addition. Vacant 0  (talk &bull; contribs) 15:20, 4 July 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)
