== Description == WikiWikiWeb is the first [[wiki]], or user-editable website.<ref name="migrate" /> The site was launched on 25 March 1995 by programmer [[Ward Cunningham]] to accompany the [[Portland Pattern Repository]] website discussing [[software design pattern]]s. The name ''WikiWikiWeb'' originally also applied to the [[wiki software]] that operated the website, written in the [[Perl]] programming language and later renamed to "WikiBase". [[Hyperlink]]s between pages on WikiWikiWeb are created by joining capitalized words together, a technique referred to as [[camel case]]. This convention of [[wiki markup]] formatting is still followed by some more recent wiki software, whereas others, such as the [[MediaWiki]] software that powers [[Wikipedia]], allow links without camel case.
