Documentation
This template is used for creating links to download pages of mods, utilities, and other resources at particular sites (with a mouse-over tooltip showing where you'll be downloading from), for use in mod and utility testing lists. The supported options are detailed below. Feel free to add more (should be multi-author sites), or to correct the URL coding if a site changes its structure, or to remove one if a site sadly goes down permanently. Various mod archives are already gone: PlanetElderScrolls.GameSpy.com, ElricM.com, the archive part of Rethan-Manor.net, Morrowind.UFRealms.net, GHFMod.us, and many more.

Parameters
The pageID you supply the is number near the end of the URL, e.g. 24561 in http://www.nexusmods.com/ morrowind/mods/ 24561 /? produces:
 * or  = for Nexus Mods (nexusmods.com).

The pageID you supply is the two-part, hyphenated numeric sequence at the end of the URL, e.g. 42-12387 in http://mw.modhistory.com/ download- 42-12387 (if one is missing the first number, use 0 ; e.g. for ...download--304 enter 0-304 ) Thus,  produces:
 * or  = for Morrowind Modding History (mw.modhistory.com).

The pageID you supply is the two-part, hyphenated numeric sequence at the end of the URL, e.g. 11-1169 in http://download.fliggerty.com/ download- 11-1169 (if one is missing the first number, use 0 ; e.g. for ...download--304 enter 0-304 ) Thus,  produces:
 * or  = for Great House Fliggerty (dowload.fliggerty.com).

The pageID you supply is the case-sensitive mod name right before the .htm at the end of the URL, e.g. Domehome in http://lovkullen.net/ Emma/ Domehome .htm Thus,  produces:
 * or  = for Emma's Elder Scrolls Site (lovkullen.net/Emma).

Thus,  produces:
 * = for ModDb (moddb.com). The pageID you supply is the mod name after /games/ in the URL, e.g. hellgate-morrowind in http://www.moddb.com/mods/ hellgate-morrowind /downloads

Note that the  part is required. The URL you supply is a full URL, including http:// or https:// Please link to the page about the mod or utility, not to a direct archive download, when possible. Thus  produces:
 * or  = for a custom URL to an author/team's site.

Note that the  part is required. The URL you supply is a full URL, including http:// or https:// Please link to the discussion about (or including) the mod or utility, not to a direct archive download, when possible (for the latter, use the above option). Thus  produces:
