{{Newest additions}}

For a little extra fun, when WikiIndex was [[:Category:Founded in 2006|founded in 2006]], we hired a caricaturist to draw [[:Category:Wiki people|people]] based on some of the early [[:Category:Photographs|photographs]] posted here.  These digital [[:Category:Caricature|caricatures]] are by the very talented [[Rhoda Grossman]].
