I'll like to ask for these two Czech parties to be added:

["Generation Movement"] = {abbrev = "Generation", color = "#00A6B4", shortname = "Generation",}

and

["GEN (political party)"] = {abbrev = "GEN", color = "#68509D", shortname = "GEN",} — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kroulacek (talk • contribs) 13:14, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I ask for the addition of Pirates as an abbreviation of the Czech Pirate Party, as it is a translation of the legally registered Czech abbreviation. Thanks. Kroulacek (talk) 09:52, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Description of suggested change: Please change the color of the People's Party (Romania, 1918–38) into #DAA520. This color would be closer to the former party's actual color (see the party's logo, the Averescu star), and at the same time it would help differentiate it more from the color of the National Liberal Party, which is also yellow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lexutz (talk • contribs) 02:44, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think you can make this change yourself^[1], but I'm not sure it's the color you want:

•   – present color for People's Party (interwar Romania, 1918–38)
•   – your proposed color
• – the party's logo

If I've got this correctly, are you sure that #DAA520 is the color you want? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 10:02, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Description of suggested change:Request to change the abbreviation of the Katipunan ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino party from "KANP" to "KNP". The party officially uses KNP as their initialism (other than their Facebook page's link; official logo and social media posts use "KNP"). [1] Thank you! FiveGeekabytes (talk) 15:09, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FiveGeekabytes on the Katipunan ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino page there is a footnote which says KANP is Used for consistency in Wikipedia, because KNP is used as abbreviation by the defunct Koalisyon ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino. Thoughts on the matter? — 🪫Volatile ^{📲T | ⌨️C} 18:15, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! I do agree that the "KANP" abbreviation be kept. It did not cross my mind that a defunct coalition used similar initials. FiveGeekabytes (talk) 04:18, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In that case I will close this edit request. If you have any other suggestions feel free to open another request — 🪫Volatile ^{📲T | ⌨️C} 04:22, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed an issue with the module and {{Infobox election}}. The latter does not accept written colour names (e.g. 'blue'), only hexadecimal colour codes. I'm guessing it's better to fix the template rather than the module (as many parties listed in the modules have colour names), but would anyone be able to do it? Specifically Module:Infobox election will need fixing. {{Infobox legislative election}} works fine with colour names. Number 57 15:52, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging the module creator Ahecht for info. Ahecht, I think this only became an issue fairly recently, which I'm guessing coincided with the creation of the module. Are you able to fix it? Number 57 15:53, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Number 57 I don't think the module changed that behavior -- the pre-module template always inserted a "#" before the value in colorN=, which would prevent named colors from being used. In any case, it's an easy enough fix, so I've modified Module:Infobox election/sandbox (used by {{Infobox election/sandbox}}) to be a little more intelligent about when it inserts a "#". Please try it out and let me know if it works as expected. --Ahecht (TALK

@Ahecht: Yes, it seems to work – thanks! Number 57 22:00, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ahecht: It seems to be causing problems again. The colours of the last two parties listed in the infobox on the 2026 Nepalese general election are not showing; both of them are named colours in the module (gold for Rastriya Prajatantra Party and crimson for Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Socialist). Cheers, Number 57 00:14, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Number 57 Oops, I never actually copied that fix from the sandbox to the main template. It's fixed now. --Ahecht (TALK

f4b838 was the hex code I saw used on their website. Would preferably use this over generic web Yellow. ⛿ WeaponizingArchitecture | yell at me 18:11, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
