This template takes two unnamed parameters to form the links, these are:

  • 1 (also as: user): To form the username holding the repository
  • 2: to calculate the name of the repository holding the project, This defaults to the pagename that the extension is on


  • Note: Spaces must be padded with '_' underscores.

  • snapshot: Displays a link to your downloads page if you have added any.


  • mastertarball: Displays a download link to a tarball of your master branch.


  • release: Displays a download link to the list of releases. If the value is latest, it will point to the latest release.

or
