Combined template[edit]

Per your request on User talk:DryHumour, I took a stab at what I think you're asking for over in my sandbox. I haven't gotten far enough in the game to have access to the Norn, so I can't be positive I understand what you're looking for. Based on User:42/Sandbox and on Beojorn, I hacked together User:DryHumour/Sandbox/Norn bounty dialogue. You're welcome to copy it if you find it at all useful. --DryHumour 04:00, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Parameters[edit]

I'm not sure if this page is still a/the testbed, but I thought I would note that the use of the {{Offer dialog}} parameters is somewhat unusual, and may have been what lead to some of the testing problems which you reported on User talk:42. (Of course, it could also be that the current state of the page is an abandoned test or other experiment.) The use of the double brace syntax makes the value of the accept and decline parameters variable templates, a form of call-by-name or computed call: the actual parameter ends up being a call to the template named by the value of the acc-text or dec-text parameter, and the call is made with the value "Missing Text" as the first unnamed parameter. --DryHumour 16:34, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
