== Rebirth of the wiki ==▼
==Summer 2023: New domain==
Due to some technical issues with upgrading MediaWiki, the software for this wiki had not been upgraded in years. Eventually, upgrades of PHP on the web host led to the wiki to stop working entirely.▼
Wiki page moved to a new domain this summer and work is still on going to update and review the database of games.
==February 2021: Raffle Contest by Looney Labs==
After some consideration, we have done a dump and restore of just the latest version of all pages; this loses all history and all user accounts, but preserves the content of the wiki. The old wiki is still available read-only to browse the history. It is currently at [http://www.icehousegames.org/wiki/], but this new wiki will replace it and the old wiki will move to an archival location once we're ready.▼
To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Looney Labs has launched a contest in which players can earn raffle tickets by completing tasks that engage with the brand. Prizes in the raffle consist of [https://www.looneylabs.com/contest rare items], many pyramid-related. Prizes will be announced in greater detail in the coming weeks by Looney Labs. You can [https://gleam.io/ByOvL/looney-labs-first-quarter-rare-item-bucket-raffle register for the contest] here. The last day to enter your raffle tickets will be '''March 28, 2021'''.
==New Option for Viewing Games==
If you had an account on the old wiki, you will need to re-create it on this wiki. The actual user pages are preserved, so once you create your account you should get your old user page back. Note that there's nothing stopping someone else from creating an account with your old user name; apologies for that.▼
'''New in 2019''': Two additional options for viewing games:
<br>[[Games by Release Year]] This lets users see '''''all''''' pyramid games by their date of release, and will automatically update whenever a new game is added to the Wiki. Currently there are '''{{#ask:

[[Year::<2987]]
[[Status::!hidden]]
[[Status::!Hidden]]

}}''' games listed with descriptions for your browsing pleasure.
[[Count of Games by Design Stage|Games by Design Stage]] This lets users see '''''all''''' pyramid games by their state of completion, from Initial Design through Playtesting to Complete. This list will automatically update whenever a new game is added to the Wiki. Currently there are '''{{#ask:
