The initial 'pre-version' software (known as 'Phase II software' in Wikipedia circles) was created by [[Magnus Manske]], and used on all available Wikipedia versions from 25 January 2002. A 'Phase III software' became the first 'official' <u>MediaWiki</u> software, and was a substantial re-write by [[Lee Daniel Crocker]]; this was first used on the [[English Wikipedia]] on 20 July 2002. MediaWiki is compiled and written in {{tag|PHP}}, and is probably the most widely deployed wiki engine {{tag|software}} in the global [[wikisphere]]. Some would argue that a [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] should be more simplistic, with fewer features; however, MediaWikis' design,<!--avoids many of the clutter / feature–creep problems that can appear in other mature wiki engines--> and its success speaks for itself. MediaWiki has spawned many clones, or '[[:Category:Fork|forks]]', the most notable being [[:Category:Wikia|Wikia]], along with [[:Category:GetWiki|GetWiki]] (created for [[Wikinfo|Wikinfo.org]]). MediaWiki is an extremely highly developed, feature-rich, and now very complex {{tag|free software}} that is released under version 2 of the {{tag|GNU General Public License}} (GNU GPL v2), and requires either [[:Category:MySQL|MySQL 5.0.2+]], [[:Category:PostgreSQL|PostgreSQL]], or [[:Category:SQLite|SQLite]] for data storage. | The initial 'pre-version' software (known as 'Phase II software' in Wikipedia circles) was created by [[Magnus Manske]], and used on all available Wikipedia versions from 25 January 2002.
