Is it sensible to add a new colour for the Green Party of England and Wales rather than just updating the existing one? Has this been done for any other party? I don't think it's really necessary to use two colours for the same party just because of a minor rebrand. dummelaksen (talk • contribs) 13:03, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Can we get this row set with the color value #17aa5c to match the Wisconsin Green Party, a pseudo-successor party. That makes most sense to me. -- Asdasdasdff (talk) 18:56, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
Kuomintang has a general abbreviation KMT. That abbreviation is well known.
Democratic Progressive Party is already there with DPP abbrev. So KMT should be too.

Description of suggested change:
Over some time now, I've been reverting edits, and had edits reversed as a conflict has occured in relation to color codes for Danish Politics. So after arguing with other wikipedia editors, I have now acknowledged that there needs to be a solution. I will therefore apologize for my behavior, and I will admit that it has not been ideal. However, I hope you will consider my case, and I will now present the reasons I believe for why a color change is necessary for Red Green Alliance .
Here in Denmark, our main brodcasters are DR and TV2. They use some specific political colors assigned to the different parties we have at the moment. Both of them uses the color orange to represent the party, as seen here (Ø represent the party) [1] [2]. Apart from that on the official site of the parliament, orange is also the color used to represent Red Green Alliance (EL represents the party) [3]
Here is two pictures to demonstrate why I believe that orange would be an improved color for the party.
Another argument is that the color code used Danish People's Party is yellow. This is despite the fact yellow doesn't appear on their own website. [4]
I really hope you will consider this, as I believe it would become easier to see the difference between Green Left and Red Green Alliance
To whoever reading this, have a nice day :)

I don't understand why you are still pushing this. You got a third opinion in the other discussion (which you then tried to hide), which was to stick with the logo colour as is standard practice. Why try and create inconsistency... Number 57 22:15, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
Response to third opinion request (Disagreement on color code being used for Red-Green Alliance): |
I am responding to a third opinion request for this page. I have made no previous edits on Module:Political party and have no known association with the editors involved in this discussion. The third opinion process is informal and I have no special powers or authority apart from being a fresh pair of eyes. |
It appears that reliable sources use orange for the Red-Green Alliance, so we should follow the reliable sources. "What about X" isn't a particularly compelling argument; perhaps the practice for Die Linke and Danish People's Party should be changed too. This issue might require a broader discussion (and potentially an RfC) to establish consensus. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:09, 30 May 2023 (UTC) |

This was originally dark green, based on the party's original logo. It was changed to blue User:Siuhl10, based on the new logo. The party has changed logos on every election it participated (2019, 2022). If it changes logos in 2025, will we change the color as well?
Blue is problematic as a similar shade already used by the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino. This causes confusion as both parties have put up presidential and vice presidential candidates in history. Granted, PFP green is very similar to National Unity Party green, but perhaps we can change PFP green to another shade of green. Even in 2022, UniTeam used PFP green in its logo, along with Hugpong ng Pagbabago red. Green is their campaign color. Howard the Duck (talk) 23:58, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

The colour of Polisario Front here should be changed. I assume the colour red was chosen due to Polisario being seen as some sort of communist party. The colour is however not used by the Front to represent Polisario itself, with the logo having orange as the dominant colour. That's why I request to change it to the hex colour #E16026, which derives from the logo itself (as based on the source of the one used in the infobox). I am using this colour in the template for the national liberation movement and I think it's more fitting. Tidjani Saleh (talk) 19:02, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
I challenge the current 'abbreviation' of Direction – Social Democracy SMER–SD. First, SMER–SD does not fulfill the essence of the acronym. SMER should not be written in capital letters, because they are not initial letters of words in a phrase, but actually is a single word in the Slovak language (Direction).
Secondly, the dash, which in the abbreviation SMER–SD is supposed to fulfill the function of connecting with the epithet 'Social Democracy' brings confusion because it creates the appearance of connecting two acronyms. To give an example, when you want to list the current ruling coalition in Slovakia with this abbreviation, it would have to be SMER–SD–HLAS–SD–SNS, which creates the impression that the coalition consists of 5 entities and is graphically unclear and inconsistent.
I propose the following solution to this problem: remove the current abbreviation and introduce the shortname 'Smer'.
This shortname complies with customs and is both content and graphically consistent.
I add other examples to confirm: Fidesz – Hungarian Civic Alliance (Fidesz – Magyar Polgári Szötségé) uses the abbreviation Fidesz, not the shortname-acronym Fidesz–MPS. Just like the Latvian Social Democratic Party "Harmony" (Sociālmokratiskā partija "Saskaņa") does not use something like SDP SASKAŅA or SDP–SASKAŅA, but simply just the short name 'Harmony'. If we look at the common abbreviation used in Slovak and also in the international press, there is no consensus reached, we can find SMER–SD, Smer–SD, and finally Smer.
In addition: this political party was founded in 1999 as Direction (Smer) and adopted the epithet 'Social Democracy' only in 2005, so if the abbreviation SMER–SD is used for the elections from 1999 until 2005, it is not correct.
90.64.71.124 (talk) 09:57, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
I challenge the current 'abbreviation' of Voice – Social Democracy HLAD–SD. First, HLAS–SD does not fulfill the essence of the acronym. HLAS should not be written in capital letters, because they are not initial letters of words in a phrase, but actually is a single word in the Slovak language (Voice or Vote).
Secondly, the dash, which in the abbreviation HLAS–SD is supposed to fulfill the function of connecting with the epithet 'Social Democracy' brings confusion because it creates the appearance of connecting two acronyms. To give an example, when you want to list the current ruling coalition in Slovakia with this abbreviation, it would have to be SMER–SD–HLAS–SD–SNS, which creates the impression that the coalition consists of 5 entities and is graphically unclear and inconsistent.

Following my earlier subject, I would actually expand my suggestion to use all major parties colors from the German template for political party colors also here. In most cases the differences are minor and using these colors should not add issues here, I guess.
A synched color scheme would allow election diagrams on Commons to match to both Wikipedias: enwiki and dewiki.

Party | Party logo(s) | Colour(s) used | Notes / Opinion |
---|---|---|---|
Social Democratic Party of Germany | #E3000F | The German Wikipedia already uses the colour in the logo (top), and the colour in the flag (bottom) is only slightly different. As the English Wikipedia uses neither, I think we should use the colour from the German wiki. | |
#E30013 | |||
Christian Democratic Union of Germany | #151518 | Logo and flag use the same colour, which is different from both the German and the English versions. I think we should use this colour in both. | |
#151518 | |||
Christian Social Union in Bavaria | #008AC5 | The opposite of the SPD. The English Wikipedia already uses the colour in the logo. The German Wikipedia uses neither. I think we should use the colour from the English wiki. | |
#0E88D3 | |||
Alliance 90/The Greens | #409A3C | All four colours are different. I think we should use one of these in both Wikipedias. I’d prefer the colour of the logo (top), as that is what we are doing (hopefully) with the SPD and the CSU. | |
#1FA12D | |||
Free Democratic Party | #FFED00 | Logo and flag use the same colour, which is the one used in the English Wikipedia. I think we should use it in both. | |
#FFED00 | |||
Alternative for Germany | #0066A5 | The logo uses a gradient of these two colours. We can use either one of them, or the average of the two (#0084C2: ). Or just leave it as it is, seeing as both wikis agree for once. | |
#00A2DE | |||
The Left | #DC0000 | Both logo and flag use the same shade of red, but it’s customary to use purple/pink for The Left to distinguish it from the SPD. Both wikis use the exact same purple/pink, so we should probably leave that one. | |
#DC0000 | |||
Free Voters | Logo used in the English Wikipedia Logo used in the German Wikipedia |
#F7A600 | Interestingly, both wikis use orange (the colour of the sun) instead of blue (the colour of the text), possibly to distinguish the party from the CSU and the AfD. The two logos use a different shade of blue for the text, but in both the sun uses a gradient of these exact two colours. We can use either one of them, or the average of the two (#F49700: ). |
#F18700 | |||
Free Voters of Bavaria | #F7A800 | I agree with you, I think we should use the same colour for both the federal and the state parties. Possibly this one, as this sun has a solid colour instead of a gradient. |

The U.S. Taxpayers Party is the name of the Michigan affiliate of the Constitution Party (United States). It was also the name of the Constitution Party (United States) until the late 1990s/early 2000s. When putting U.S. Taxpayers' Party into the election box template to get this color, it changes the name automatically to the US Constitution Party. There are a number of candidates in historic articles and present articles that are on the ballot under the former name. Is there a way to create a template that does not change the name?

Colour is approximate. From: [1]. Colour is the one used for background of the banners [2] and wall plaques [3] rather than the logo. Also I'm not a native English speaker so I'm not shure if it shouldn't be "United Peoples' Party" instead of "United People's Party". Chears! — Antoni12345 (talk) 19:35, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Please add Democratic Hope, it's color is #DE2118 and as far as I know it doesn't have a shortname. Charles Essie (talk) 21:59, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
the shortname for the Finnish Green Party, "VIHR" should be changed to the plain, English "Greens", or alternatively, the Green League, as the shortname is simply a shorthand for the color in Finnish. Wikipedia doesn't refer to the German greens as "Grüne" in the infoboxes, so why should the Finnish Greens be any different?
"VIHR" looks strange and it seems to be directly copied from Finnish language articles, that simply shorten political parties' names. They do this to every other Finnish political party, with shortnames like "kok." "sd." and "ps." to refer to the National Coalition, the Social Democrats, and the Finns Party. However, in English Wikipedia, these are correctly named with their proper English translation, with the exception of the Green Party's "VIHR". I say this should be corrected.

Could someone look at the colours of the parties, Plaid Cymru (Wales/UK), and Sinn Féin (Ireland, Northern Ireland)? They look the same shade of green and I'm not sure that they are the same, I think they need to be different. doktorb wordsdeeds 00:24, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

I would like to request the color of New Future Party (South Korea) be changed from the current #003153 to #2ad2c9. The latter color is already used as the primary color on Korean Wikipedia and there are photos (linked below) that strongly suggest the proposed color is used as the party's main color while the current one is used exclusively on the logo.

I challenge the current 'abbreviation' of Direction – Social Democracy SMER–SD. First, SMER–SD does not fulfill the essence of the acronym. SMER should not be written in capital letters, because they are not initial letters of words in a phrase, but actually is a single word in the Slovak language (Direction).
Secondly, the dash, which in the abbreviation SMER–SD is supposed to fulfill the function of connecting with the epithet 'Social Democracy' brings confusion because it creates the appearance of connecting two acronyms. To give an example, when you want to list the current ruling coalition in Slovakia with this abbreviation, it would have to be SMER–SD–HLAS–SD–SNS, which creates the impression that the coalition consists of 5 entities and is graphically unclear and inconsistent.
I propose the following solution to this problem: remove the current abbreviation and introduce the shortname 'Smer'.
This shortname complies with customs and is both content and graphically consistent.
I add other examples to confirm: Fidesz – Hungarian Civic Alliance (Fidesz – Magyar Polgári Szötségé) uses the abbreviation Fidesz, not the shortname-acronym Fidesz–MPS. Just like the Latvian Social Democratic Party "Harmony" (Sociālmokratiskā partija "Saskaņa") does not use something like SDP SASKAŅA or SDP–SASKAŅA, but simply just the short name 'Harmony'. If we look at the common abbreviation used in Slovak and also in the international press, there is no consensus reached, we can find SMER–SD, Smer–SD, and finally Smer.
In addition: this political party was founded in 1999 as Direction (Smer) and adopted the epithet 'Social Democracy' only in 2005, so if the abbreviation SMER–SD is used for the elections from 1999 until 2005, it is not correct. 90.64.70.228 (talk) 12:13, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Czech Political Parties I would like to request changes to several Czech or Czechoslovak parties.
Senator 21 changed its name to SEN 21 and its color to #1a4973 shown here
The Left (Czech Republic) changed its color slightly to #d70e44 can be find here
German National Party color should be #75781A
Slovak National Party (historical) should be #214F15
German Liberal Party (Czechoslovakia) should be #23B68A
Hungarian National Party (Czechoslovakia) should be #23B68
United Jewish Parties (Czechoslovakia) were translated incorrectly and should be called Associated Jewish Parties (Czechoslovakia). "Sdružené" in original is closer to Associated then to United (which would be "Sjednocené"). Their color should be #291CE8
Party of Smallholders, Cottiers and Entrepreneurs of Czechoslovakia is translated incorrectly ("domkař" is a homeowner, cottier would be "chalupář") so it should be renamed to Party of Smallholders, Homeowners and Entrepreneurs of Czechoslovakia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kroulacek (talk • contribs) 17:17, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Make "Nonpartisan" as an input generate a disambiguated link to Nonpartisanism. Make it so that (in the electionbox) it reads as "nonpartisan" lowercase.
Do the same automatically for when someone inputs "Nonpartisan candidate", "nonpartisan candidate", and "nonpartisan".
SecretName101 (talk) 19:04, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
party = Nonpartisan politician
, which is a redirect to Independent politician via the link [[Nonpartisan politician|Nonpartisan]]. (It works the same for "candidate".)party = Nonpartisan election
, since that doesn't currently shorten to "Nonpartisan". (I have also confirmed that none use that by searching insource:/[Pp]arty\s*\=\s*[Nn]onpartisan election/
.) And the suggested change is only as an option beyond the existing options that I noted (among others). SilverLocust 💬 04:54, 7 March 2024 (UTC)This edit request to Module:Political party/N has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |

Description of suggested change: Addition of shortnames for Volt parties and addition of missing parties. Following Parties are Missing yet:
The color code from all of them is #502379 + The color code of Volt Bulgaria is wrong and should be #502379 too. The abbreviation off all Volt Parties is Volt. With one exception: for Volt Portugal it is VP. The Shortname from all Volt parties is Volt, thats missing for Volt Bulgaria, Luxemburg, Malta and UK.

Description of suggested change: Addition of "Reformer" as a shortname for Whigs (British political party) with color #FF7F00.
The shortname "Reformer" is used on these pages (1835 Liverpool Town Council election, 1836 Liverpool Town Council election, 1839 Liverpool Town Council election, 1840 Liverpool Town Council election, 1841 Liverpool Town Council election, Abercromby (Liverpool ward)) to refer to Whigs (British political party), but the shortname currently links to a disambiguation page.

[[(({party))}|<shortname>]]
where <shortname> is provided by the module. In other words, if you want to link to the Whigs, you need to set |party=Whigs (British political party)
, which will then output Reformer
while linking to Whigs (British political party). Primefac (talk) 20:17, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
|party=Whigs (British political party)

rather than Reformer

Are there actually two different groups? Are they just called different names depending on what they called themselves? Are there any time periods where one name was used more than the other? There's no point in futzing about with the code until we can actually determine what should be done visually. Primefac (talk) 15:49, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: The German party Human Environment Animal Protection recently changed their colour from #87CEFA (current) to #00545F (new).
Additionally, The Homeland also changed its colour in 2023 with the renaming from brown (current) to #D79E2A (new). However this change might be more controversial as brown, the currently displayed customary colour, was applied by outsiders instead of the party itself so we might want to wait if this is still the case. German Wikipedia does use the party's new preferred colour, but we might want to wait for what official diagrams and news outlets use.
