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.

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:

Note that the back-to-back instances of  need not be separated by a space; a thin space is included in the template's code to keep the link icon of the first instance from butting up against the link letter of the second.
