-Originally this was aiming to be an index of all wikis (just as WikiIndex.org has become). It was started in May {{tag|FoundedIn2005|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 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-->.
+'''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|FoundedIn2005|2005}} by [[Archive.org:20060317133234/http://WiKi4All.com/catalog/User:OlegPopov|Oleg Ivanovich Popov]], from {{tag|Kiev}}, {{tag|Russia}}.  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.
