The skin "Nostalgia" was designed to mimic UseMod, and does a pretty good job of it. I just found it in my preferences andwas quite impressed. The only major difference is that the page title isn't a link to "What Links Here" a.k.a. BackLinks. &mdash;&nbsp;<span style="font-family: Kristen ITC, Times New Roman;">[[User:Sean Fennel]][[User talk:Sean Fennel|@]]</span> 14:35, 9 September 2006 (EDT)

== Broader wikis. ==
I'm very enthusiastic about this wiki - connecting people with the right wiki is a great thing to do.
One issue that occurs to me with indexing is that the broader wikis, such as [[Wikipedia:|Wikipedia]] and [[Wikibooks:|Wikibooks]], have a lot of material on most or all of the [[:Category:Wiki Topic|topics]] listed here. To really make the indexing complete, I think we should list:
*Major topics on Wikipedia - this would mean a category which has an article of the same name, and which has a category on WikiIndex.
*Wikipedia Wikiprojects (collaborations to improve groups of articles)
*Bookshelves and books on Wikibooks
On a related topic: Perhaps it's also worth having an article which explains how the different wikis & projects link together. Or we could make a point of explaining that in the individual articles. For example, [[Appropedia]] is ''not'' for encyclopedic material, but rather is aiming to complement Wikipedia (not compete with it) by developing project pages, how tos, networks & collaborations, and allowing original research. --[[User:Singkong2005|Chris Watkins/Singkong2005]] <small><sup>[[User talk:Singkong2005|talk]]</sup></small> 07:37, 15 September 2006 (EDT)
