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}}</ref>
In 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=http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UseModWiki/WhyUseMod |publisher=UseModWiki |access-date=25 June 2021}}</ref> It was replaced by the concept of [[wiki]]s in 1999, and the development of UseModWiki started on October 11 as a simplified [[Fork (software development)|fork]] of AtisWiki. From version 0.4 ("WikiFour") in November 1999, more functions and improvements were introduced to UseModWiki.<ref name="history"/> In 2000, the second UseModWiki website [[MeatballWiki]] was launched and hosted in usemod.com, along with the official website of UseModWiki.
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 along with [[camel case]] for linking to another page.<ref name="old_versions"/> In September 2003, after two years of development, the release of version 1.0 introduced many new features including [[CSS]], [[RSS]], file uploads, [[UTF-8]], and more.<ref>{{cite web |title=NewFeatures |url=http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UseModWiki/NewFeatures |publisher=UseModWiki |access-date=25 June 2021}}</ref> Only bug fixing versions were released since that, and Markus Lude took over the project of UseModWiki from Adams in July 2007. The latest version was released in December 2017.<ref name="history"/>
