Request (Voice of Reason)
[edit ]I have a request for the Hellenic political party Voice of Reason. The color of the party used on the module, is actually the secondary color. As you could see from a) most of the presentations by media, b) the main color at the party's website, and the main color at the emblem of the party (the letters of the party's name), dark blue (#020C6A) is the main color, and not the light blue. Could somebody update it? Greek Rebel (talk) 12:22, 20 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

- @Number 57 Happy New Year, first of all! Sorry, but we have another issue with the Greek party colors. This time it seems that Victory, according to its new statute, changed from ochre to imperial purple (#910048). Is it possible to change it? Thanks!

I have fundamental issues with the whole thing
[edit ]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!

- 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. Primefac (talk) 13:02, 27 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
- 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

- 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. Primefac (talk) 12:13, 29 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
Request (Niki)

parameter to no to reactivate your request.According its new statute, ([1]) Niki changed its colors. I think an update should be happen here. The color according the statute (the statute literally gives us the colorcode) is #910048. It is also in the new logo. Could somebody change it? Hellenic Rebel (talk) 22:01, 27 December 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
- To editor Hellenic Rebel: looks like this is already done. The color at Module:Political party/N, which is not template-protected, is set at hex code #910048 ( ). P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 19:37, 7 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Edit request for Together (Estonian political party) on 24 February 2025
[edit ]|answered=
or |ans=
parameter to no to reactivate your request.Description of suggested change: Requesting that the color of Together (Estonian political party) be changed to #015aac as the existing color derives from a placeholder logo and the party has been using #015aac in campaign ads and other related posts with the only exception being a slightly different hue in this one article. The proposed color matches the blue inside the cloud on their current logo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BananasAreViolet (talk • contribs) 20:45, 24 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Piechart needs color, not HTML
[edit ]{{Pie chart }} uses Module:Piechart which generates pie charts such as at 2024 Indian general election#Results. A discussion at Piechart talk concerns a recently noticed problem.
Module:Piechart needs a color such as #FF9933
for Bharatiya Janata Party. However, {{party color|Bharatiya Janata Party}}
outputs #FF9933
. Module:Political party#L-104 seems to have been escaping the #
for HTML display for a long time. Is there a mechanism to get #FF9933
instead? Or, should any module needing the color un-escape the output from this module? Johnuniq (talk) 20:37, 12 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
- You could try and replace in Module:Piechart the result string and replace
#
with "#" (the opposite of line 104). Gonnym (talk) 06:47, 17 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]- Thanks, I added that workaround a while ago and it appears it will be needed forever. Perhaps no other template/module needs a plain "#" but it would be good if Module:Political_party at least documented what it outputs. Johnuniq (talk) 07:22, 17 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
