UseModWikiはPerlで書かれGNU General Public Licenseライセンスのウィキソフトウェアである。 UseModWikiのページは、関係データベースではなく、通常のファイルで保存される。 英語や他の多くの言語で書かれたウィキペディアはMediaWikiに切り替えるまではUseModWikiで運用されていた。

歴史

ウォード・カニンガムが最初のウィキウェブサイトWikiWikiWebを作った後、主にPerlで書かれ、WikiWikiWebのエンジン("WikiBase")の機能と設計を実装した色々なウィキウィキクローンがあった。 Peter Merelは部分的にGNU Lesser General Public Licenseでリリースされた初期のウィキウィキクローンCVWikiを開発し、その後Markus DenkerはGNU General Public LicenseでリリースされCVWikiに基づいたAtisWikiを開発した。

1990年代に、Clifford AdamsはUsenet Moderationプロジェクトを立ち上げた。ユーザがUsenetの投稿についての評価、編集、さらにまとめや変更情報を共有できるようにするものである。それは1999年にウィキの発想で置き換えられ、10月11日にAtisWikiの単純化されたフォークとしてUseModWikiの開発が始まった。1999年11月のバージョン0.4("WikiFour")からは、UseModWikiにさらに機能と改良が導入された。2000年には、2つめのUseModWikiウェブサイトMeatballWikiが立ち上げられ、UseModWikiの公式ウェブサイトとともに、usemod.comに置かれた。

In 2001, as Adams was both of the UseModWiki developer and a Wikipedian, he brought many improvements for the usages of an encyclopedia to v0.91 and v0.92, especially "free links" that uses double square-brackets (e.g., [[Wikipedia]]) as an option along with camel case for linking to another page. In September 2003, after two years of development, the release of version 1.0 introduced many new features including CSS, RSS, file uploads, UTF-8, and more. Only bug fixing versions were released since that, and Markus Lude took over the project of UseModWiki from Adams in July 2007. The latest version was released in December 2017.

English Wikipedia in 2001

February

December

UseModWiki supports both of camel case and "free links" for linking to another page.

The wiki software for the English Wikipedia was UseModWiki (phase I, retroactively) since the establishment on January 15, 2001, and as of January 2002, Wikipedias in 22 languages were powered by UseModWiki. It was replaced by "the PHP script" (phase II) on January 25, 2002, a new wiki software based on UseModWiki but rewritten in PHP. On July 20, it was then replaced by its own rewritten wiki software (phase III), currently known as MediaWiki, for the better performance and functionality.

Optional headers like = big-header (h1) text = and === some h3 text ===. New <code> tag for inline quoting of code in a fixed-width font. This tag also acts like the <pre> tag and suppresses wiki formatting. Free links and free links with description text allow pages with spaces and some puctuation in their names. Local bracket-links like [WikiName description] are now not special by default, although the old 0.90-version behavior is an option. Optional disabling of automatic LinkPattern links (if you really want to get rid of the classic Wiki:CamelCase names.) Older rclog (RecentChanges) entries can be moved to another file, and will only be loaded if required. Admin page deletion (can be given to Editor-level): immediate and total, including RecentChanges. Admin page renaming: also renames RecentChanges entries and links on all other pages linking to the page.
0.92	April 21, 2001	Optional x translation table for non-English wikis. Better behavior in non-traditional CGI environments like mod_perl or FastCGI. Bugfixes for free links, especially detection of illegal link names. Free links are now converted to a canonical uppercase form by default (all words start with an uppercase letter). This new behavior can be turned off. Faster index of all pages. Optional stylesheet support. Several new minor features.
