Portal:Open-source software should be deleted / merged into here

Portal:Open-source software is redundant given this portal and should be deleted. Normally I'd say it should be merged into here but there's almost no content in it that could be merged - and it also doesn't have a talk page. The deletion discussion can be found here: Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Open-source software.

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[reply]

It seems the general software infobox is better suited for our needs. Shaddim (talk) 11:47, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Freeorion

FreeOrion was created and deleted already multiple times (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/FreeOrion), yet, I think with at least 700,000 downloads and broad recpetion it should have an article. Shaddim (talk) 15:43, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
