{{Lua|Module:Political party}}

This template is designed to make it easier to read tables where the name of a political party appears as one of the columns.

Rather than a table where party names appear on a background colour, which can provide poor [[MOS:ACCESS|accessibility]], this template creates two columns, one with a coloured bar and one with the party name, both populated from the [[Module:political party|political party module]]).

This means that a table can be generated looking like this:

{| class="wikitable"
! Information
! colspan="2" | Party
! Notes
|-
! Some information
{{Political party list|Union for a Popular Movement}}
| Some notes would go here, these will often be rather longer than the contents of the other columns
|-
! More information
{{Political party list|Republican Party (US)}}
| Some more notes. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec libero sapien.
|-
! And yet more
{{Political party list|Green Party of England and Wales}}
| Praesent at magna eget nulla dignissim gravida vitae quis ante. Phasellus turpis velit, accumsan sed facilisis in.
|}

== Usage ==
This template creates two columns (one with the colour, one with the name), so the table header should be <code>colspan</code>ned appropriately. The table above was generated as follows:

<pre>{| class="wikitable"
! Information
! colspan="2" | Party
! Notes
|-
! Some information
{{Political party list|Union for a Popular Movement}}
| Some notes would go here, these will often be rather longer than the contents of the other columns
|-
! More information
{{Political party list|Republican Party}}
| Some more notes. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec libero sapien.
|-
! And yet more
{{Political party list|Green Party of England and Wales}}
| Praesent at magna eget nulla dignissim gravida vitae quis ante. Phasellus turpis velit, accumsan sed facilisis in.
|}</pre>
