Originally this was aiming to be an index of all wikis (just as WikiIndex.com has become). It was started in May 2005 by a person using the name [http://wiki4all.com/catalog/User:OlegPopov Oleg Popov], apparently based in Russia or Ukraine. But he or she didn't set it up properly (eg no "Search" function) and did not reply to approaches, even by email, after a few days.


It was later revealed that he or she had some link-spam purposes in mind, indeed the domain registrant also owned several pharmaceutical spamming domains.
'''WiKi4All.com - ''public wiki sites catalog'''''.  Our aim is to create a full {{tag|directory}} or catalogue of {{tag|wiki}} websites, each with a brief objective profile.  Similar to what [[WikiIndex]].org has become!  WiKi4All was started in May {{tag|Founded in 2005|2005}} by [[Archive.org:20060317133234/http://WiKi4All.com/catalog/User:OlegPopov|Oleg Ivanovich Popov]], from {{tag|Kiev}}, {{tag|Ukraine}}.  Sadly, he did not set up the MediaWiki installation properly (eg, no 'Search' function) and did not reply to approaches, even by email, after a few days.


Wiki4all contributors mostly migrated to other similar projects, particularly this one! There is probably still more material there worth copying. The wiki4all wiki succumbed to spam bombardment itself<!-- (premature report of death - it still functions in March 2006) , and has now been shut down, perhaps by the hosting company (the domain now redirects to a 'blocked' URL) as of Feb 2006-->.
It was later revealed that they had some link-[[spam]] purposes in mind, indeed the domain registrant also owned several [[:Category:Pharmaceutical|pharmaceutical]] spamming domains.

WiKi4All contributors mostly migrated to other similar projects, particularly this [[WikiIndex]] wiki!  The WiKi4All wiki succumbed to {{tag|Spammed|spam}} bombardment, and was {{tag|Dead|shut down}} sometime late March 2006.
