Template:Wikipedia: Difference between revisions

When launched in [[:Category:FoundedIn2001|2001]], Wikipedia was initially powered by [[:Category:UseMod Wiki|UseMod Wiki]], a wiki engine software package developed by [[CliffordAdams|Clifford Adams]] used to moderate the quality of posts on [[:Category:Usenet|Usenet]].  Wikipedia used this UseMod Wiki software during its first year of 2001, until 25 January [[:Category:FoundedIn2002|2002]], when it started to use the '{{Wp|Wikipedia:Phase II software|Phase II software}}' as developed by [[Magnus Manske]].  On 20 July 2002, 'Phase III software' (a complete rewrite of Manskes' Phase II by [[Lee Daniel Crocker]]) was released and used on the [[English Wikipedia]], and at the same time, was renamed [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]]. [http://UseMod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Comparison_Of_Usemod_With_Mediawiki]  MediaWiki has subsequently been extensively developed through continued collaborative evolutions, and as well as being used all 900-or-so wikis of the Wikimedia Foundation, MediaWiki is now used by thousands of other independent wiki sites and many [[:Category:Free MediaWiki wiki farm|free]] and commercial [[:Category:MediaWiki wiki farms|wiki farms]].
