Concept of page
This is specifically intended to be a handy reference to playable, new and recently updated Roguelike (and vaguely roguelike ;-) games.
- 7DRL games are excluded unless they continue to be updated after the initial 7 days. This is to avoid them crowding out others in the list.
- Alpha games are only included if they have a somewhat playable download.
- No download available means no listing.
IRLDB
Having checked out IRLDB in more detail, there are only three problems I can see with it.
- Only contains data from games included in RogueBasin
- Only contains data given in templates used in RogueBasin (e.g. Angband template has no language information).
If that was changed then it might well be best to replace this page (and probably a few others) with output from IRLDB. PaulBlay

Add authors column
Why not to add column of authors? --Sindikat 10:16, 20 May 2009 (CEST)
- Basically because the table is wide enough already. People can see the author on the RogueBasin page for the game or on the game's website (both linked from the table). You can see a table with author name at the IRLDB if you want. PaulBlay
table css
Colouring the rows manually is just ridiculous, I get some css for you and if one of the admins could put that into the stylesheet that would be great:
tr:nth-child(odd) {background: #ffffff} tr:nth-child(even) {background: #efefef}
- Turns out admins can add new CSS to MediaWiki:Common.css, I found more instructions and examples here.
- I'll recommend adding this one: --HexDecimal (talk) 02:08, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
table.alternategrey tr:nth-child(even) {background: #E9E9E9;}

Umoria - a fake entry?
To be well understood: Umoria is a valuable historical game. But the peculiar entry in this table of "Recently Updated Roguelikes" seems to be an abuse. Well, let's call it a prank. The wikilink points to "Moria"; no new versions anywhere. Did I miss something? Due to the facts I'd like to remove the table entry "Umoria" if there are no reasonable vetos. -- Gus Van (talk) 22:40, 4 September 2018 (CEST)
