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 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=httphttps://www.usemod.comorg/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UseModWiki/WhyUseMod |publisher=UseModWiki |access-date=258 JuneNovember 20212023}}</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 from the previous version, 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=httphttps://www.usemod.comorg/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UseModWiki/NewFeatures |publisher=UseModWiki |access-date=258 JuneNovember 20212023}}</ref>

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}}</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. Only bug fixing versions were released since that, and the latest version was released in December 2017.<ref name="history"/>
