Template talk:Collector no armor trade dialogue
Tweaking needed[edit]
This template needs tweaking apparently. I edited it according to the directions listed on the help pages,(http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Template and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Templates#Using_parameters_in_templates) and it still has a hiccup. In case you can't tell what it is I am trying to do, this is the dialogue given from certain collectors (looks like just armor piece collectors) when the character's profession is not compatible (for specific example, when an Assassin character talks to the armor collectors in the Prophecies areas) with the items that collector has. 69.183.31.172 03:32, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- If you name a parameter, you have to specify that name when you invoke it. Also, see Jaden Fletcher, 'cause having just your dialog there doesn't look good (also, it needs 2 headers if you're going that way). --JonTheMon 04:12, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- If I am remembering properly, using the name and parameter as is on the template {{Nosale dialogue|Alpine Seeds}} would be correct, and yet, it displays the text with the {{{Itemname}}} on it. But, if I am reading the pages correctly, everything has been done correctly.
- The jadan fletcher is how I want it to look at the end, but the campaign specific tags can be added in, unless there are no armor piece collectors in nightfall and factions, and the clarification would be needed for an Assassin talking to a nightfall armor collector, etc. 69.183.31.172 05:18, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- If I remember right, I even tried using a number in the text that would be displayed, and all it showed in the end product was the same basic thing it is now {{{1}}} for example. 69.183.31.172 05:27, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
- I tossed it up on Lenn Giantsbane. Looks pretty good. Perhaps a slight tweak to the wording though? "Dialogue if this armorer..." may be better, minus the stress. Oh, and keep the wording that you have. Even though many such armorers are based on campaign, you can see that Lenn is not. G R E E N E R 02:39, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
- The bold explanation text is out of place w/o a corresponding bold explanation text for the standard dialog. --JonTheMon 03:52, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

- Good point Jon, and it would be valid if it mattered that much (a.k.a. nitpicking over nothing). Either way, added it to a collector page today, and it is showing properly on the page, finally. Thanks to all of those that helped with the template formatting and everything.
- Greener, I don't think it matters on the campaign of the character, just the profession. Such as, if your character was an Elementalist from either Nightfall or Factions, then it wouldn't show this, I think it is just the outrigger professions, such as Assassin, Dervish, Paragon, and Ritualist. 69.183.31.172 06:51, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
"The bold explanation text is out of place w/o ..." Jon, try looking at that huge word "Dialogue" right above it when used on the collector page. 69.182.180.123 01:08, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
