Usage
ସମ୍ପାଦନାParty Links
ସମ୍ପାଦନାA more sophisticated effect can be achieved using Template:Election box candidate with party link. This adds a link to the candidate's party and also adds a color tab to the left of the candidate. For example:
For example:
{{Election box begin | title=[[United Kingdom general election, 2005|General Election 2005]]: Strangford}} {{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Labour Party (UK) |candidate = Tony Blair |votes = 9,999 |percentage = 50.0 |change = +10.0 }} {{Election box candidate with party link| |party = Conservative Party (UK) |candidate = Michael Howard |votes = 9,999 |percentage = 50.0 |change = +10.0 }} {{Election box end}}
Will create this:
General Election 2005: Strangford | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
ରାଜନୈତିକ ଦଳ | ପ୍ରାର୍ଥୀ | ଭୋଟ | % | ±% | |
style="background-color: ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Labour Party (UK)/meta/color; width: 5px;" | | [[Labour Party (UK)|ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Labour Party (UK)/meta/shortname]] | Tony Blair | 9,999 | 50.0 | +10.0 |
style="background-color: ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Conservative Party (UK)/meta/color; width: 5px;" | | [[Conservative Party (UK)|ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Conservative Party (UK)/meta/shortname]] | Michael Howard | 9,999 | 50.0 | +10.0 |
However, this does rely on some additional setup for each party. See below for more details.
Party set up
ସମ୍ପାଦନାIt is necessary to do some a little bit of setup for each party in the election. This involves creating two simple templates for the article that you will be linking to (eg Labour Party (UK)). These contain the identifying color of the party and the short name that will be used as the link caption (as the full wikipedia page name will probably not be suitable).
The two templates that you will need to create are:
- Template:ArticleName/meta/color
- Template:ArticleName/meta/shortname
The color template will just contain the party's identifying color (eg red), and the shortname template will just contain the name of the party as you want it to appear on the link (eg Labour).
You should also add something to the main article's talk page to indicate that these two templates exist. There is a template Template:Election box metadata that can be used to do this.
Step by step instructions
ସମ୍ପାଦନାFollowing are some easy step-by-step instructions for adding the two sub-pages:
- First, go to the article about the party that you want to set up. Eg Labour Party (UK).
- Click on the discussion tab to get to article's talk page.
- Click on the edit this page tab to start editing the page.
- Add the text {{Election box metadata}} somewhere on the page. This will create a section on the page that provides links to the meta pages, however they don't exist yet.
- Save the page.
- Click on the red link to the page
ArticleName/meta/color
. As this page does not yet exist, this will take you directly to the page creation screen. - Enter just the identifying color of the party. This can be a color name, such as red or an RGB code such as #FF0000. If you use an RGB code you will need to type it as <nowiki>#FF0000</nowiki> otherwise it will be treated as a list element.
- Put the text For Template:Election box in the Edit Summary field (otherwise someone will flag it for speedy deletion)!
- Save the page.
- Repeat the previous four steps for the
ArticleName/meta/shortname
sub-page.
Example
ସମ୍ପାଦନା- Talk:Labour Party (UK)#Election box metadata
- Template:Labour Party (UK)/meta/color
- Template:Labour Party (UK)/meta/shortname
Microformat
ସମ୍ପାଦନାThe HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book or database. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
Sub-templates
ସମ୍ପାଦନାDate-of-birth ("bday") information will only be included in the microformat if {{birth date}}, or {{birth date and age}} are used in the infobox. (Do not use these if the date is before 1583). Be cautious about using these if the person is still living, per WP:DOB.
To include a URL, use {{URL}}.
Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.
Classes

- adr
- agent
- bday
