Because they subconciously prefer cleanliness and can no longer see their own geocities web pages from all the ad popups and dancing racoons they added?

The single article on wikipedia is perhaps of encyclopedic value. A portal and category just for Tremulous is way outside the bounds of what wikipedia was intended for. I would advise not putting much effort into it as you'll soon find it deleted. Set up a dedicated tremulous wiki for that kind of thing.

First the Tremulous article is far from defunct. There is quite a lot of debate on the discussion page. One guy tagged the article for lack of notability but we managed to get it off.

Second R1CH is right, Tremulous hasn't enough notability to have his own portal (see my first point)

Third, I asked for an assessment of the Tremulous article from the Video Games project. They did it, and left some really interesting ideas to improve the article on the discussion page. However, i m not good enough in English to follow this all by myself. So, if you really want to help, you re welcome to check theses recommendations and improve the main Tremulous article  :wink:
