History of Bahá'í wiki websites
From Bahai9
The first known collaborative web article on the Bahá'í Faith was started at [1] on November 13, 1999 by user "under_score" (Mishkin Berteig, according to his user page, who is apparently a Baha'i) at what is now http://everything2.com . Data was transferred from an earlier incarnation of the site (which started as early as March 1998), so it is not known exactly when the article began [2]. This was not a wiki proper, but allowed users to start informative pages on a given topic to which others could add.
At Wikipedia, the history log for the "Baha'i Faith" page, shows user "Arcade" as the earliest editor of that page (December 4, 2001), though the comment for the edit suggests the page existed earlier. This is the earliest known wiki page on the Baha'i Faith (or mention of it), though further research might turn up more information.
On March 7, 2003, the services of http://netunify.com were employed to set up the first known dedicated Bahá'í wiki website (at http://bahai.netunify.com ). Brett Zamir set up and was the first to use this site. The original page, was at http://bahai.netunify.com/1.versions.2 , though is no longer accessible.
On November 5, 2003, Jonah Winters (from http://bahai-library.com/ ) installed the first Bahá'í-hosted wiki website with Brett Zamir editing the first page at the site (and overseeing its contents).
On August 17 (or 19th? see oldest pages), 2004, Jonah Winters again assisted in the installation of a Bahá'í-hosted wiki website (again at his server), this time accessible from its own dedicated domain name, here at http://bahai9.com . Brett Zamir added the first page and is overseeing its contents to date (first mostly migrating pages from the previous web site). The original page (merely a test) is at http://www.bahai9.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&oldid=8 .
In Marcy of 2007, [3] was formed[4] by David Haslip and has since expanded to include a media commons, text archive, and news source as well as encyclopedic knowledge.
This wiki at http://bahai9.com went back online to editing on April 22, 2009.
