{{Lua|Module:Political party}}
'''Mal:Political abbrev''' returns an abbreviated short name for the provided political party.

== Usage ==
* {{Tlx|Party abbrev|<party name>}}

== Parameters ==
{{Trim|{{#section:Template:Political party/doc|Parameters}}}}

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

* {{tlx|Party abbrev|Labour Party (UK)}} → {{Party abbr|Labour Party (UK)}}
* {{tlx|Party abbrev|Labour and Co-operative}} → {{Party abbr|Labour and Co-operative}}
* {{tlx|Party abbrev|Labour Co-operative}} → {{Party abbr|Labour Co-operative}}

If the party is not present in the module, or the abbreviation is not in the module, the input party name will be returned.
* {{tlx|Party abbrev|Not-a-party}} → {{Party abbr|Not-a-party|}}
* {{tlx|Party abbrev|A test no values}} → {{Party abbr|A test no values}}

To check if the party is present in the module, use {{para|error|value}}.
* {{tlx|Party abbrev|A test no values|error{{=}}ERROR}} → {{Party abbr|A test no values|error=ERROR}} (''note in this case the input is in the module'')
* {{tlx|Party abbrev|Not-a-party|error{{=}}ERROR}} → {{Party abbr|Not-a-party|error=ERROR}}
