What is the type of expansion slot is only used for graphics?

I read from a website, it says there are 3 main types which are PCI-E (Express), PCI, and AGP. But what makes me unsure about this is that I found that Wikipeida wrote there many more other types. Take a look at related links below.

Yes, technology has changed quite a bit. Really old graphics card use PCI expansion slots, fortunately most motherboards still have PCI slots.

Now graphics cards are installed into the PCI-Express x16 slot.
