The evolution tree is a subjective approach to a 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 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 interpretation and opinion. Nevertheless, it is hoped this page will provide food for thought on the history of wiki. | The evolution tree is a {{Cambridge-Dictionary|subjective}} approach to a {{Cambridge-Dictionary|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.
