== Adding software ==

The quickest way is '''[[Special:AddSoftware]]''': search Wikidata or GitHub, review the harvested record, and it creates the item, the <code>FOSS:<Name></code> page and the page↔item link in one go. Prefer the manual path (<code>Special:AddSoftware/manual</code>) when no authority record exists.

Every software page is built from '''[[Template:FOSS]]''' (banner + infobox) — see [[Help:Contributing/semanticDynamicContent]] for how the infobox reads the item.
