Wikipedia used this UseMod Wiki software during its first year of 2001, until 25 January [[:Category:Founded in 2002|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]].
