Robocode
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Robocode&oldid=637979357 I would like to restore this page, as it is quite popular (https://sourceforge.net/projects/robocode/files/stats/timeline?dates=2000-05-12+to+2017-05-18 1 million downloads) and I believe notable. Someone want to help me finding more good reliable secondary sources ? Shaddim (talk) 00:28, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

infobox video games
I try to start a discussion to add (re-add?) fields from the general software infobox which would also (or especially) FOSS games, e.g. license and more differentiated release model. Shaddim (talk) 13:14, 18 May 2017 (UTC) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Infobox_video_game
- It seems the general software infobox is better suited for our needs. Shaddim (talk) 11:47, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

notes
Logo is missed
The logo was used for this portal is missed, I don't know how to import it, the logo is this:
commons:File:Free and open-source software logo (2009).svg
Editor-1 (talk) 13:21, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

No, the logo must be appears within the articles, see: GNOME#See also
Editor-1 (talk) 05:54, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
I saw to portal:Linux and did this changes:
