Template:Party shortname/doc

Template:Political shortname returns a shorter name for the provided political party.

Usage

• {{Party shortname|<party name>}}

Parameters

Parameter	Description
1	The political party's name. If a party is not found, place a request at the talk page.
error	Optional, this parameter will return the provided |error= value if the module does not contain the requested party or color.

Examples

Here are some examples using the Labour Party (note that there are multiple potential input names):

	["Labour and Co-operative"] = "Labour Party (UK)",
	["Labour Co-operative"] = "Labour Party (UK)",
    ...
	["Labour Party (Thailand)"] = {abbrev = "", color = "#000000", shortname = "",},
	["Labour Party (UK)"] = {abbrev = "Lab", color = "#E4003B", shortname = "Labour",},

• {{Party shortname|Labour Party (UK)}} → Labour
• {{Party shortname|Labour and Co-operative}} → Labour Co-op
• {{Party shortname|Labour Co-operative}} → Labour Co-op

If the party is not present in the module, or the shortname is not in the module, the input party name will be returned.

• {{Party shortname|Not-a-party}} → Not-a-party
• {{Party shortname|A test no values}} → A test no values

To check if the party is present in the module, use |error=value.

• {{Party shortname|A test no values|error=ERROR}} → A test no values (note in this case the input is in the module)
• {{Party shortname|Not-a-party|error=ERROR}} → ERROR
