On pre-MediaWiki wiki software[edit]

  • user:Mxn advises that on the "Phase 3" software that predated MediaWiki, all user preferences, including user names, were stored as browser cookies. (Etherpad does that now.) Passwords were optional. This was before namespaces on the wiki. User pages were named like articles.
  • The phase III software was in use from July 2002 until roughly August 2003 according to w:MediaWiki#History.
