Parameters

<section begin="Parameters"/>

Parameter	Description
1	The type of data requested and pulled from Wikidata, from the following list: seats: the number of seats of one or more entities in one or more institutions (P1410); seat share: the share of seats of one or more entities in one or more institutions (based on P1410); seat composition bar: a composition bar showing the seats of one or more entities in one or more institutions (based on P1410); seat composition bar compact: a compact version of the composition bar showing the seats of one or more entities in one or more institutions (based on P1410); acronym: the short name of the entity (P1813); color: the official colour of the entity as a hex code (P465); country: the country in which the entity is registered (P17); foundation date: the date on which the entity was founded (P571); foundation year: the year in which the entity was founded (P571); individual members: the number of individual members of the entity (P2124); individual members date: the reference date for the number of individual members of the entity (based on P2124); individual members year: the reference year for the number of individual members of the entity (based on P2124); label: the name of the entity; official name: the official long-form name of the entity (P1448); parliamentary group: the parliamentary group the entity belongs to (P4100); chairperson: the presiding or leading member of the entity (P488); public funding: the amount of public funding received by the entity (P12919); or website: the official website of the entity (P856), stripped from "https", "http" and "www" prefixes. This parameter is mandatory.
2	The name of the entity, from the following list: the acronym of the entity (see list below); or its Wikidata qID. The name can be omitted when the template is called from the Wikipedia page of the entity (alternatively, thisparty can be used to refer to the entity in question). This parameter is optional when called from the page of the entity. The following acronyms are used for European parties: European People's Party: EPP Party of European Socialists: PES European Conservatives and Reformists: ECR Patriots.eu: Patriots Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party: ALDE European Green Party: EGP Europe of Sovereign Nations: ESN European Left Alliance for the People and the Planet: ELA Party of the European Left: EL European Democratic Party: EDP European Free Alliance: EFA European Christian Political Party: ECPP In addition, the following European political alliances are covered: Animal Politics EU: Animal European Communist Action: ECA European Pirate Party: PPEU Democracy in Europe Movement 2025: DiEM25 Volt Europa: Volt In addition, four special parameters can be used instead of European parties (so not when |party_type=national party): all: for the seats of all European parties combined; none: for the seats not occupied by members of European parties (not for lower and upper houses); and ind: for independent politicians on the European Council (only). Notes: the capitalisation of parameters does not matter; given the cost of calling Wikidata when using a specific qID (i.e., not calling Wikidata from a linked Wikipedia page), the special parameter "thisparty" should be used whenever this module is called from the page of a European party; and since the listed European political alliances are not European political parties, they do not count towards to sum of seats occupied by European political parties, nor the seats not occupied by European political parties.
3	The name of the institution, from the following list: European Parliament: EP European Commission: EC European Council: EUCO European Committee of the Regions: COR Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe: PACE Lower houses in EU member states: ms-lower-house (alternatively, "lower-house" and "lower" also work) Upper houses in EU member states: ms-upper-house (alternatively, "upper-house" and "upper" also work) For lower and upper houses, the module will sum the number of seats of the European party's member parties across member states. Note that, as of June 2025, the per-European party breakdown of seats of PACE political groups is rarely available. This parameter is mandatory when data_type is seat, seat share, seat composition bar and seat composition bar compact.
extra parameters	The following extra parameters can also be used, depending on the requested data_type: all data_types: reference will display the reference when |reference=yes (this parameter is ignored for the seats of lower or upper houses of European entities, as many national figures are summed); seat share: constituency will override the institution's number of seats (for instance when the party is part of a special constituency); seat composition bar and seat composition bar compact: constituency will override the institution's number of seats (for instance when the party is part of a special constituency); width will specify the width of the bar and can have the following formats: "80" (default unit is pixel), "80px", "80em", or "80%" (without spaces); percent will display the percentage when |percent=yes; bar-color, background-color, and border will override default colours when provided an hexadecimal value (e.g."#123ABC", including the pound sign) or a recognised colour (e.g. "red"). all other data_types: verbose: will display an error message when no value exists on Wikidata, as well as a relevant link, when |verbose=yes (otherwise the field is empty). These parameters are optional.

Test cases

The template's module has two testcase pages:

• Module:European and national party data/testcases composition bar for the seat composition bar and seat composition bar compact data types; and
• Module:European and national party data/testcases for all other data types.

Updating the template

The template draws its data from two sources:

• Wikidata for all data points returned by the template's module; and
• commons:Data:Mapping of national parties members of European parties to lower and upper houses.tab which maps the national member parties of European political parties and also serves to link member states (and, therefore, national parties) to their lower and upper houses.

To update data returned by the module, go to the Wikidata page of the entity in question (the link is often provided as a comment in the infobox of the Wikipedia article), and edit the relevant property, preferably by adding a new value and marking it as preferred (instead of deleting outdated information).

Here are some relevant properties for the module:

• number of seats in assembly: P1410, with the following qualifiers:
  • legislative body: P194
  • executive body (for the European Commission and European Council): P208
  • parliamentary term (for the European Parliament and European Commission): P2937
• short name/acronym: P1813
• colour/sRGB color hex triplet: P465
• country: P17
• foundation date: P571
• individual members: P2124
• official name: P1448
• parliamentary group: P4100
• chairperson: P488
• public funding: P12919
• official website: P856

Wherever possible, try and add:

• a start time (P580) qualifier (and a matching end time (P582) in the outdated entry) or a point in time (P585) qualifier, and
• a reference, including the reference URL (P854), title (P1476), retrieved (P813), and publisher qualifiers (P123).

Updating Wikidata ensures that updated and sourced information is available not just to this Wiki, but to all versions of Wikipedia, as well as to other services drawing information from Wikidata.

Translating the module

To adapt the module to a new Wiki, follow these steps:

1. Create two modules to replicate the modules below (the content must remain the same as in the English version):
   1. Module:European and national party data, and
   2. Module:European and national party data/Wd;
2. Create the following files and translate them as needed (translate only the non-English parts, as indicated):
   1. Module:European and national party data/config, and
   2. Module:European and national party data/Wd/i18n;
3. Translate the module documentations, and adapt the examples as necessary using the translated terms;
4. Create testcases, such as the ones below, and adapt the examples as necessary using the translated terms:
   1. Module:European and national party data/testcases, and
   2. Module:European and national party data/testcases composition bar;
5. Create three templates to replicate the ones below:
   1. Template:EUPP data,
   2. Template:Political party data, and
   3. Template:EU institution seats;
6. Translate the template documentations, based on the module documentations, and adapt the examples as necessary using the translated terms;
7. Add the two modules in the "Wikipedia" sections of the two relevant Wikidata pages below:
   1. Module:European and national party data
   2. Module:European and national party data/Wd
8. Create a topic on the consolidated module talk page to adapt the content of the common module (in particular its function for composition bars) to the new Wiki. After being adapted, the main module will be synchronised to update the modules in all Wiki languages; this helps ensure that the same module is used across Wikis, which is essential to keep its functions updated.
