==Updating the module== The political parties contained in this module are split into alphabetised lists based on the first character of the name (for example, "Labour Party (UK)" would be under [[Module:Political party/L|/L]]). The [[Module:Political party/1|/1]] subpage is for any party that does not start with the western letters A-Z (including numbers and accented characters). Within each data submodule are two local groups: <code lang=lua>local alternate</code> and <code lang=lua>local full</code>. The alternate group is for alternate names of a party. The following is an example of alternate names for the [[Labour Party (UK)]]: <syntaxhighlight lang=lua> local alternate = { .... ["Labour and Co-operative"] = "Labour Party (UK)", ["Labour Co-operative"] = "Labour Party (UK)", ... } </syntaxhighlight> The first entry in square brackets is the alternate name, and the second entry only in quotes is the name found in the <code>full</code> group, seen below. Note that the alternate name of a party should be stored in its corresponding letter-based subpage; "Alabama Democratic Party" is listed in [[Module:Political party/A|/A]] even though it is an alternate name for "Democratic Party (US)" (which is stored in [[Module:Political party/D|/D]]). === Table values === <syntaxhighlight lang=lua> local full = { .... ["Labour Party (UK)"] = {abbrev = "Lab", color = "#E4003B", shortname = "Labour",}, ... } </syntaxhighlight> There are three values stored for each party: * The abbreviation (<code>abbrev</code>). * The color of the party (<code>color</code>), which can either be a [[hex triplet]] or a [[Web_colors#Basic colors|basic color name]]. * A shorter name for the party (<code>shortname</code>). If a name value is not stored for a party, the module will attempt to return the other "short" name variant before returning the input. Thus, if <code>abbrev</code> is stored but <code>shortname</code> is not, regardless of which value is asked for it will return the <code>abbrev</code> value.
