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",},

• {{Party abbrev|Labour Party (UK)}} → Mal:Party abbr
• {{Party abbrev|Labour and Co-operative}} → Mal:Party abbr
• {{Party abbrev|Labour Co-operative}} → Mal:Party abbr

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

• {{Party abbrev|Not-a-party}} → Mal:Party abbr
• {{Party abbrev|A test no values}} → Mal:Party abbr

To check if the party is present in the module, use |error=value.

• {{Party abbrev|A test no values|error=ERROR}} → Mal:Party abbr (note in this case the input is in the module)
• {{Party abbrev|Not-a-party|error=ERROR}} → Mal:Party abbr
