Can this template span multiple rows in a table? Might be good to have some documentation. Schwede66 08:16, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Schwede66 @MPGuy2824 Yes, after a small change introducing a named optional rows parameter, {{#if: {{{rows|}}} | rowspan="{{{rows}}}" }} like Special:Diff/1044238516/1044249967. If this seems appropriate, I can go ahead and update it, and the usage becomes {{Party name with color|Foo party|rows=2}} Your thoughts? — DaxServer (talk to me) 09:05, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Works, for my limited tests. Thanks. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:38, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This template is being used in multiple places, but has no documentation, and no obvious means to edit it. How does it work? How are errors fixed? Why are some parties names listed in full, and others not? I can see the "full" parameter listed, but without an example this is of no use. Greenman (talk) 22:22, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's still not clear to me how this template works. Why are some of the entries in City of Cape Town elections#August_2016_election full names, and not others. How to fix? Greenman (talk) 22:27, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is based on their shortname template. See Template:Democratic Alliance (South Africa)/meta/shortname vs Template:African National Congress/meta/shortname -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:15, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Petr Matas: can you add a {{{2|}}} somewhere so that this supports piped links when used with full. For instance, {{Party name with color|Foo Party|German Foo Party|full=yes}} would become [[Foo Party|German Foo Party]]. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 00:35, 2 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
