@El Inferno, you have 56 points total. Please remove 1 point. @LadyMistDragon, you have 54 points total. You can leave it as is, or add 1 point now or later.

Done! You can reinstate your points at any time if you want. Replayability isn't the only existing merit, just saying. Nope! You can only lower the position of a wad by voting for other wads.

Agreed. There is no way to measure "best" in the field of entertainment at all, so popularity ranking it is. TCs and standalone games do count, everything doom-related count. It seems that most of the folks here don't consider them "Doom wads", so they rarely occupy top slots. Official expansions are all listed now. Strangely, Doom 64 isn't. For the reference, standalone games in this list: TCs:

Sure, as long as there is proof of existence. If I ever forget to change the state of a wad when it's released, please let me know!

I don't have a list of direct links for the files here, so I cannot offer a way to automatically download everything. Most of the WADs here are uploaded to /idgames, others are from ModDB, file sharing services or personal web sites. Maybe Doom Launcher can somewhat facilitate downloading, as it can download from /idgames (I haven't tried it myself).

From Doomworld Community Top WADs of all time: Years by points: Years popularity by "popular" (voted) WADs count: There was some decline about 1998-2007, but since then it's pretty stable. Note that more recent years' WADs lag behind in being represented because people had less time appreciating them.

If I @'d or DM'd them, maybe (which I won't do, it would be annoying). Also, given that missing points are mere 1.36% of total points, adding them won't change much.
