'''WikiEngineTree''' — this tree shows roughly how various {{tag|Wiki Engine|wiki engine}} developments are (or were) interrelated.  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 tree is a subjective approach to a classification of wiki engines according to their origins (where the original programmer of the wiki engine got the idea of deriving a new wiki engine).
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.  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}} and {{Cambridge-Dictionary|opinion}}.  Nevertheless, it is hoped this page will provide food for thought on the history of wiki software.


In other words: this is supposed to be a tree of the evolution of wiki engines (not [[wiki]] forums, but wiki engines). It is supposed to show where a wiki engine was derived from. Of course, this can be very subjective.
===Page format===
Please try to list information using the following {{Cambridge-Dictionary|schema}} (items in bold are strongly preferred, though <u>only</u> the engine itself should be <u>displayed</u> in bold), using full [[wikilink]]s where possible ([[red link]]s ''are'' acceptable):

Wiki engine evolution tree — the evolution tree in this article below shows roughly how various 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 subjective approach to a classification of wiki engines according to their origins; where the original programmer (or founder) of the wiki engine got the idea of deriving (or forking) a new wiki engine from an existing wiki engine. Specifically: this is supposed to be a tree of the evolution of wiki engines (not wiki forums or 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 software.

Page format[edit]

Please try to list information using the following schema (items in bold are strongly preferred, though only the engine itself should be displayed in bold), using full wikilinks where possible (red links are acceptable):

wiki engine nameyear the development of the wiki engine started; founding author/programmer; programming language (original/primary); its relation to any existing wiki engines; project or community the engine was originally made for [if any]; notable and / or new features;

by using (the leading hash # generates the auto-numbering):

#'''[[:Category:Engine Name|Engine Name]]''' — year; author / founder; prog lang; relation; original use; other comment;
