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 = "#FF0000", shortname = "",},
	["Labour Party (UK)"] = {abbrev = "Lab", color = "#E4003B", shortname = "Labour",},

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

Lua script error messages

If either of the required parameters are not supplied, or the color does not exist in the module, an error will be returned.

To avoid generating a script error, use |error=value. Note that this error value will also be passed if the party is not stored in the module.
