'''Wiki engine evolution tree''' — the [[Cambridge-Dictionary:evolution|evolution]] tree in this [[article]] below shows roughly how various {{tag|wiki engine}} (wiki software) developments are (or were) related and inter-related.  For a full list of wiki engines we have indexed here on [[WikiIndex]], see [[:category: Wiki engine]].
'''Wiki engine evolution tree''' — the {{Cambridge-Dictionary|evolution}} tree in this [[article]] below shows roughly how various {{tag|wiki engine}} (wiki software) developments are (or were) related and inter-related.  For a full list of wiki engines we have indexed here on [[WikiIndex]], see [[:category: Wiki engine]].


The evolution tree is a [[Cambridge-Dictionary:subjective|subjective]] approach to a [[Cambridge-Dictionary:classification|classification]] of wiki engines according to their [[:Category:Wiki age|origins]]; where the original [[Developer|programmer]] (or [[founder]]) of the wiki engine got the idea of [[Cambridge-Dictionary:derive|deriving]] (or [[fork]]ing) a new wiki engine from an existing wiki engine.  Specifically: this is supposed to be a tree of the evolution of <u>wiki engines</u> (''not'' {{tag|wiki}} forums or [[Wiki|wiki sites]]; just wiki engines only).  It is supposed to show where a wiki engine was derived from.  Of course, this ''can'' be very subjective, and be subject to [[Cambridge-Dictionary:interpretation|interpretation]] and [[Cambridge-Dictionary:opinion|opinion]].  Nevertheless, it is hoped this page will provide food for thought on the history of wiki software.
