Opinion polls parameter
editCan the opinion polls link parameter from Infobox election be added to this? It is oddly missing. ← Metallurgist (talk) 19:59, 10 February 2026 (UTC)
Percentage change?
editCould a 'percentage chain' or 'swing' parameter be added like in Template:Infobox election? While the changes in seats are of course important, the change in the pure vote counts per party is often just as important. It seems unfortunate to exclude such vital information.

flag_image (maybe instead of flag_year)?
editflag_image like in TIE has more functionality than flag_year. For example, I would like to fix the flag in the 1922—1935 Silesian Parliament elections to the coat of arms, as that was (per wikipedia) the symbol of Silesia, with the contemporary flag not yet existing. polish ✹ kurd 19:01, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

Colour system
editDescription of suggested change: You know on how you're able to add in a Hex code for a political party if they aren't on Module:Political party? Like something akin to #FFFFFF, #000000, or #FAB432 can additionally be used alternatively.
My problem is that on dark mode (whom I use on an almost regular basis), I am unable to see said hex colours. So I suggest trying to fix that problem if possible. Example can be seen here for the September 2019 Israeli legislative election and 2024 Indonesian general election. The one for Indonesia would require an overhall in the colour system in general though.
It is infuriating to see that light-mode users get to benefit for all of wikipedia while dark-mode users have to suck it up and deal with it. I hope this is fixed if possible. GuesanLoyalist (talk) 22:52, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Number 57 are you able to do so? GuesanLoyalist (talk) 22:52, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
- Like be able to fulfil the request that I just made. GuesanLoyalist (talk) 22:53, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
- I don't think that's an issue with the infobox code. I suspect it's the dark mode style which is the issue, so could potentially be fixed by editing Template:Infobox legislative election/styles.css, although it's beyond my technical capability. Number 57 23:03, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
- Hmm, do you know anybody that can specialise in CSS on wikipedia? GuesanLoyalist (talk) 23:25, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
