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.
