|}<section end="Parameters"/>

==Examples==
Here are some examples using the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] (note that there are multiple potential input names):
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
["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",},
</syntaxhighlight>

* {{tlx|Political party|Labour Party (UK)|abbrev}} → {{Political party|Labour Party (UK)|abbrev}}
* {{tlx|Political party|Labour Party (UK)|shortname}} → {{Political party|Labour Party (UK)|shortname}}
* {{tlx|Political party|Labour and Co-operative|shortname}} → {{Political party|Labour and Co-operative|shortname}}
* {{tlx|Political party|Labour Co-operative|shortname}} → {{Political party|Labour Co-operative|shortname}}
* {{tlx|Political party|Labour Party (UK)|color}} → {{Political party|Labour Party (UK)|color}}

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.
* {{tlx|Political party|Not-a-party|abbrev}} → {{Political party|Not-a-party|abbrev}}
* {{tlx|Political party|Not-a-party|shortname}} → {{Political party|Not-a-party|shortname}}
* {{tlx|Political party|Not-a-party|color}} → {{Political party|Not-a-party|color}}
* {{tlx|Political party|A test no values|shortname}} → {{Political party|A test no values|shortname}}

===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.
* {{tlx|Political party}} → {{Political party}}
* {{tlx|Political party|A test no values}} → {{Political party|Not-a-party}}
* {{tlx|Political party|A test no values|color}} → {{Political party|A test no values|color}}

To avoid generating a script error, use {{para|error|value}}. Note that this error value will also be passed if the party is not stored in the module.
* {{tlx|Political party|A test no values|color|error{{=}}ERROR}} → {{Political party|A test no values|color|error=ERROR}}
* {{tlx|Political party|Not-a-party|color|error{{=}}ERROR}} → {{Political party|Not-a-party|color|error=ERROR}}
