The '''WikiWikiWeb''' [[wiki]] site is the world's first, oldest, and longest-running wiki site. It primarily focussed on {{tag|people}}, {{tag|projects}}, and {{tag|patterns}} in {{tag|software development}}. WikiWikiWeb was originally powered by software known as {{tag|Wiki Base}}<ref name=Reasonator>[[Toolforge-Reasonator:21562045|Wiki Base (Q21562045) – wiki software that runs WikiWikiWeb]]; ''Reasonator.Toolforge.org''; [[Reasonator]], at [[Wikimedia Toolforge]]; accessed 22 December 2022.</ref> and located at <tt>http://C2.com/cgi/wiki</tt> – a location that is still available (though now redirects to <tt>https://Wiki.C2.com</tt>), but {{tag|locked}} to {{tag|ReadOnly|read-only}} due to persistent [[vandal]]ism in December [[:Category:Founded in 2014|2014]] and January [[:Category:Founded in 2015|2015]]. In February 2015, WikiWikiWeb was migrated to a {{tag|Federated wiki}} (originally at <tt><nowiki>http://C2.Fed.Wiki.org/</nowiki></tt>). | The '''WikiWikiWeb''' [[wiki]] site is the world's first, oldest, and longest-running wiki site.

The first [[:Category:Wiki engine|wiki engine]] software was compiled in the [[:Category:Perl|Perl]] programming language in [[:Category:Founded in 1994|1994]] by [[Ward Cunningham]] (now known as the 'father of wiki'), and was based on a HyperCard stack that Cunningham designed for {{tag|collaboration}} with his former colleagues at Tektronix in [[:Category:Portland|Portland]], Oregon.

Confusingly, the original Perl-based software ''and'' the actual content it maintained were frequently both described as the '''WikiWikiWeb''', especially prior to the existence of other wikis.

It has also been informally called '''Ward's Wiki''', as an {{Cambridge-Dictionary|homage}} to its creator. [[Ward Cunningham]] named WikiWikiWeb after 'Wiki Wiki', a line of Chance RT-52 shuttle buses running between terminals at {{Wp|Honolulu International Airport}}. The name of the shuttle line is derived from the [[:Category:Hawaiian|Hawaiian-language]] ''wiki'', which means 'fast' or 'quick'.<ref>[https://c2.com/doc/etymology.html Correspondence on the Etymology of Wiki]; ''C2.com''; [[Ward Cunningham]]; November 2003; accessed 22 December 2022.</ref> The repetition ''wiki wiki'' is used to emphasize ''wiki'', so ''wiki wiki'' could be interpreted as 'faster than fast'. | ||
The original wiki software, {{tag|Wiki Base}},<ref name=Reasonator/> was rarely altered, so new facilities were typically implemented by de-facto policy and manual effort, or via external websites. This had the benefit of allowing facilities to be flexibly added without programming. However, it required manual effort to maintain. For example, [[Wiki:ChangesInMonth|ChangesInMonth]] were always generated manually and maintained by a succession of individuals, most recently [[Wiki:JohnFletcher|John Fletcher]]. The new [[Federated wiki]] software permits extensions via plugins, which may facilitate automating processes that were formerly manual. | The original wiki software, {{tag|Wiki Base}},<ref name=Reasonator/> was rarely altered, so new facilities were typically implemented by de-facto policy and manual effort, or via external websites.
