FOSS — free & open-source software documentation, one page per program. Facts live in the [[Item:|items]]; pages read them at view time.
Adding software
The quickest way is Special:AddSoftware: search Wikidata or GitHub, review the harvested record, and it creates the item, the FOSS:<Name> page and the page↔item link in one go. Prefer the manual path (Special:AddSoftware/manual) when no authority record exists.
The full step-by-step process lives in FOSS:Contributing — the namespace contributing guide.
Every software page is built from Template:FOSS (banner + infobox) — see Help:Contributing/semanticDynamicContent for how the infobox reads the item.
