== 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|CVWiki]] which was an early WikiWikiClone released partially under the [[GNU Lesser General Public License]], and Markus Denker then developed [[WikiWikiWeb:AtisWiki|AtisWiki]] which was released under the [[GNU General Public License]] and based on CVWiki.<ref>{{cite web |author1=Markus Denker |title=AtisWiki |url=http://marcusdenker.de/old/AtisWiki.html |publisher=MarcusWiki |access-date=25 June 2021 |date=25 July 2002 |archive-date=25 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210625202853/http://marcusdenker.de/old/AtisWiki.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
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> The English edition switched to "[[Wikipedia:Phase II software|the PHP script]]" (phase II) on January 25, 2002, a new wiki software based on UseModWiki but rewritten in [[PHP]]. On July 20, "the PHP script" was then replaced by its own rewritten wiki software (phase III), currently known as [[MediaWiki]], for better performance and functionality.
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:
