Correct. We'd have a couple of pages like
Template:StableReleaseLink
Template:LatestReleaseLink

And the content of those pages could just be a link like
[http://download.libreoffice.org/blah/blah/link LibreOffice 42.5.10]

which could be included on any page in the wiki like this:
{{StableReleaseLink}}

Actually, for localization purposes it might be most effective to add
some parameters, so that the default text would be the current
version, but one could pass-in an alternate string if one wanted to
have it display differently:
{{StableReleaseLink|text="Please download the latest stable version here..."}}

But I digress into implementation details...the important piece here
is that you (or Thorsten, or whomever) would only need to update the
content of the single template page :-)
