New Category on the DTB

"Recently extinct" now allows visitors to see all the reviews of unfortunate animals that have been wiped out by human greed and heartlessness.

Diprotodon, megalania, Meiolania, and Thylacoleo should be added as well. While it's unclear whether the arrival of native peoples in Australia was (as) directly responsible for their extinctions as it was moas in new Zealand, their presence and their introduction of dingoes definitely played a contributing part.

Meiolania definitely should, as one species on Vanuatu lasted until very recently.

Are we adding animals that coexisted with humans but where we aren't certain if humans were the direct cause of their extinction? Mammoths, Smilodon, etc.

The regular reviewers and the admin agreed that "recently extinct" would apply to any animal that died out as a direct result of human activity in the last 600 or so years (the moas are thought to have gone extinct in the 1440s), so that would exclude all the genera you listed.
