Templates listed below have been converted to use the module. They are listed here for future maintenance purposes, as it has been mentioned that a number of these templates could likely be consolidated due to duplicate code.

|

• {{{winner_party
• {{{loser_party

| {{CEmpty}}

|-

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| style="background-color: {{Template:{{{winner_party|}}}/meta/color}}"

| style="background-color: {{#invoke:Political party|fetch|{{{winner_party|}}}|color}}"

| This produces (in both old and new) a blank background-color attribute if nothing is found.

|-

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{yes}}

| {{{swing_from to {{{swing_to

| {{{swing_from

| Uses fallback: abbr->shortname without full name. Current (/meta) code breaks as it has no fallback to input (full name).

|-

| {{tl|Compact election box no change}}

| colspan="7" | Same as above

|-

| rowspan="2" | {{tl|Election box candidate for alliance}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| rowspan="2" {{CEmpty}}

| {{Template:{{{party}}}/meta/shortname}} ({{Template:{{{side}}}/meta/shortname}}

| {{{party}}} ({{{side}}}

| New code provides name fallback.

|-

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| style="background-color: {{Template:{{{party}}}/meta/color}}"

| style="background-color: {{#invoke:Political party|fetch|{{{party}}}|color}}"

| No fallback for color.

|-

| rowspan="2" | {{tl|Election box candidate no party link no change}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| rowspan="2" {{CEmpty}}

| {{Template:{{{party}}}/meta/shortname}}

| {{#invoke:Political party|fetch|{{{party}}}|shortname}}

| New code provides name fallback.

|-

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| style="background-color: {{Template:{{{party}}}/meta/color}};"

| style="background-color: {{#invoke:Political party|fetch|{{{party}}}|color}};

| No fallback for color.

|-

| {{tl|Election box candidate with party link}}

| {{yes}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| colspan="3" | Similar to above.

|-

| {{tl|Election box gain no swing}}

| {{yes}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| colspan="3" | Same as above.

|-

| {{tl|Election box gain with party link}}

| {{yes}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| colspan="3" | Similar to above.

|-

| {{tl|Election box gain with party link without swing}}

| {{yes}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| colspan="3" | Exact same code as {{tl|Election box gain with party link no swing}} - templates should be "merged" to a renamed template.

|-

| {{tl|Election box gain with party link and swing no change}}

| {{yes}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| colspan="3" | Similar to other code. Checks if exist a template, then uses it or fallbacks on input color and input name.

|-

| {{tl|Election box hold with party link}}

| {{yes}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| colspan="3" | Similar to other code. Uses color and name from /meta/ templates but does not have a fallback so breaks.

|-

| {{tl|Election box hold with party link no change}}

| {{yes}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| colspan="3" | Identical to {{tl|Election box hold with party link no swing}} and should be merged. Almost identical to Template:Election box gain no swing and {{tl|Election box new seat win}}. Could be easily merged with only checking some type parameter.

|-

| {{tl|Election box hold with party link no swing}}

| {{yes}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| colspan="3" | Identical to {{tl|Election box hold with party link no change}} and should be merged. See above.

|-

|{{tl|Election box new boundary win}}||{{yes}}||{{yes}}|| ||

|-

|{{tl|Election summary party}}||{{yes}}||{{yes}}|| ||

|-

| rowspan="2" | {{tl|Election box gain}}

| {{yes}}

| {{#ifexist:Template:{{{winner}}}/meta/shortname|{{{{{winner}}}/meta/shortname}}|{{{winner}}}}} gain from {{#ifexist:Template:{{{loser}}}/meta/shortname|{{{{{loser}}}/meta/shortname}}|{{{loser}}}}}

| {{#invoke:Political party|fetch|{{{winner}}}|shortname}} gain from {{#invoke:Political party|fetch|{{{loser}}}|shortname}}

| Fallback makes code shorter.

|-

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{#ifexist:Template:{{{winner}}}/meta/color|background-color: {{{{{winner}}}/meta/color}}}}

| {{#if: {{#invoke:Political party|fetch|{{{winner}}}|color}} | background-color: {{#invoke:Political party|fetch|{{{winner}}}|color}} }}

| Could maybe provide a default value to reduce the second call.

|-

| {{tl|Election box gain with party link no swing}}

| {{yes}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| colspan="3" | Similar to above. New code provides fall back. Exact same code as below - templates should be "merged" to a renamed template.

|-

| {{tl|Election box gain with party link no change}}

| {{yes}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| colspan="3" | Exact same code as {{tl|Election box gain with party link no swing}} - templates should be "merged" to a renamed template.

|-

| {{tl|Election box new seat win}}

| {{yes}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| colspan="3" | Almost identical to Template:Election box gain no swing and {{tl|Election box hold with party link no swing}}. Could be easily merged with only checking some type parameter.

|-

| {{tl|Elected official with party link}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{yes}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| colspan="3" | Uses abbr without fallback. No real reason to use abbr here.

|-

| {{tl|Officeholder table coalition}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{Yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| colspan="3" | No fallback. Again code is duplicated. Abbr is used because letters are used in the coalition cell. Again, not sure how reader-friendly this is especially if the letters are an en.wiki made up thing.

|-

| {{tl|Officeholder table cabinet}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| colspan="3" | No fallback. Again code is duplicated. Abbr is used because letters are used in the cabinet cell.

|-

|{{tl|UKPP}}||{{yes}}||{{yes}}|| ||

|-

| rowspan="2" | {{tl|Infobox election}}

| {{yes}}

| {{CEmpty}}

| rowspan="2" {{CEmpty}}

Templates where it could be added

I've played around with this at Template:Infobox political party/sandbox with adding fallbacks (and moving the native_name subheader to an actual {{para|subheader}}) and it works. Might be cleaner ways. --Gonnym (talk) 13:38, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

• Template:Political party meta
• Template:Political party extended meta
• Template:Election box metadata - note this is called on Talk pages and tells people "how to fix" the /meta/ templates if something is not as is should be. Will either need an update to call the module or taken to TFD for deletion.
