Hi, thanks for your recent additions. Keep in mind [[Template:angbandvariant]], and how all games are currently subcategorized by development stage (and not the code they were based off of). If all angband variants are stable (not beta, not defunct), then this is ok - a template similar to [[template:game-7drl]] is appropriate, and we have it place games into categories stable and angband variant. Otherwise, we would have to include one of the larger templates alongside what would be a redundant [[template:angband-variant]]. Keep in mind also that many people don't know the language/platforms/influences/etc of Angband and hence its variants (perhaps include as static fields?), and also that the influences of an angband variant may include a book, or some other video game. Keep up the good work. | Hi, thanks for your recent additions.

Hi, thanks for your recent additions. Keep in mind Template:angbandvariant, and how all games are currently subcategorized by development stage (and not the code they were based off of). If all angband variants are stable (not beta, not defunct), then this is ok - a template similar to template:game-7drl is appropriate, and we have it place games into categories stable and angband variant. Otherwise, we would have to include one of the larger templates alongside what would be a redundant template:angband-variant. Keep in mind also that many people don't know the language/platforms/influences/etc of Angband and hence its variants (perhaps include as static fields?), and also that the influences of an angband variant may include a book, or some other video game.
