Okay. (Sorry for not getting to this earlier!)

The final list is, in random order:

Smith//Score
Approval with manual runoff
Smith//Approval (explicit - specified approval cutoff)
Schwartz-Woodall
Copeland//Borda (also called Ranked Robin)
MinMax(wv)
Double Defeat, Hare
Plurality
Majority Judgement (as a category; includes usual judgement etc.)
IRV
Max Strength Transitive Beatpath
STAR
Woodall
Schulze
Baldwin
Black
Approval
Benham
Margins-Sorted Minimum Losing Votes (equal-rated whole)
Gross Loser Elimination
Smith//DAC
RCIPE
RP(wv)
Smith//Approval (implicit - of all ranked)
Margins-Sorted Approval

In addition, the shorthand category
        "Condorcet-IRV"
corresponds to including (or equal-ranking) all of Benham, Woodall, and 
Schwartz-Woodall.
