== History ==
After [[Ward Cunningham]] created the first wiki website [[WikiWikiWeb]], there were various "WikiWikiClones" that implemented the functions and design of WikiWikiWeb's engine ("WikiBase"), mainly written in [[Perl]]. Peter Merel developed [[WikiWikiWeb:CvWiki|
In the 1990s, Clifford Adams initiated the '''Use'''net '''Mod'''eration project that would allow users to share rating, editing, and eventually summary/change information about [[Usenet]] postings.<ref>{{cite web |author1=Clifford Adams |title=WhyUseMod |url=
In 2001, as Adams was both of the UseModWiki developer and a [[Wikipedia community|Wikipedian]], he brought many improvements for the usages of an encyclopedia to v0.91 and v0.92, especially "[[Wikipedia:Glossary#Free link|free link]]s" that uses double square-brackets (e.g., <code><nowiki>[[Wikipedia]]</nowiki></code>) as an option
The development was then halted, and a [[cross-site scripting]] vulnerability (CVE-2004-1397) was discovered in December 2004.<ref>{{cite web |title=CVE-2004-1397 |url=https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2004-1397 |publisher=[[Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures|CVE]] |access-date=28 March 2023 |date=2005-02-12 |id={{CVE|2004-1397}} |language=en |archive-date=2023-03-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230328065157/https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2004-1397 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author1=office.bomis.com |title=Wikipedia: HomePage |url=https://www.editthisnft.com/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi?%3Cscript%3Ealert('This%5Cxa0pre-UseModWiki%5Cxa01.0.1%5Cxa0site%5Cxa0has%5Cxa0no%5Cxa0XSS%5Cxa0vulnerability!')%3C/script%3E |publisher=[[Jimmy Wales]] |access-date=28 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230328065548/https://www.editthisnft.com/cgi-bin/wiki.cgi?%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27This%5Cxa0pre-UseModWiki%5Cxa01.0.1%5Cxa0site%5Cxa0has%5Cxa0no%5Cxa0XSS%5Cxa0vulnerability%21%27%29%3C/script%3E |archive-date=28 March 2023 |quote=This pre-UseModWiki 1.0.1 site has no XSS vulnerability!}}</ref> It was patched in July 2007 when Markus Lude took over the project of UseModWiki from Clifford Adams, with the release of version 1.0.1.

The wiki software for the [[English Wikipedia]] was UseModWiki (phase I, retroactively) since the establishment on January 15, 2001, and as of January 2002, Wikipedias in 22 languages were powered by UseModWiki.<ref>{{cite web |title=Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia |url=http://www.wikipedia.com |publisher=[[Bomis]] |access-date=25 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020124190441/http://www.wikipedia.com/ |archive-date=24 January 2002 |date=24 January 2002}}</ref>
Other language editions gradually switched to MediaWiki afterwards, and as of late 2003, only a few active editions including [[Catalan Wikipedia]] were still powered by UseModWiki.<ref>{{cite web |title=Wikipedia: HomePage |url=http://ca.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi |publisher=Catalan Wikipedia |access-date=2 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031113202541/http://ca.wikipedia.com/wiki.cgi |archive-date=13 November 2003 |language=Catalan |date=13 November 2003}}</ref> In 2004, the last-remaining UseModWiki editions switched to MediaWiki.<ref>[[meta:Wikipedia software upgrade status]]</ref>
