ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟು:Election box candidate with party link

Usage

Party links

A 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

ಪಕ್ಷ		ಅಭ್ಯರ್ಥಿ‌	ಮತಗಳು	%	±%
	Labour	Tony Blair	9,999	50.0	+10.0
	Conservative	Michael Howard	9,999	50.0	+10.0

However, this does rely on some additional setup for each party. See below for more details.

Microformat

The 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

Date-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.
