Ward Cunningham created the first wiki in 1995. His "WikiWikiWeb" lets software developers create a library of "software patterns." The name "Wiki" was inspired by the Hawaiian word wiki or wiki-wiki, which means "quick" and is often used as a term for taxis and airport shuttles. The WikiWikiWeb still exists
Wikipedia runs on "MediaWiki", a Free Software project.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software
Free Software means that MediaWiki is a collaborative software project, designed by many people, not just one. If you force me to name names, I guess three names would be appropriate: Lee Daniel Crocker, Magnus Manske, Brion Vibber. But again, these names have no meaning unless you educate yourself as to who contributed what and when.

You'll note that many sites look like Wikipedia. That's because they, like Wikipedia, chose to use Mediawiki as their CMS.

The idea of making an general Encyclopedia that was a Wiki is usually credited to Larry Sanger, who was working with Jimbo Wales on another encyclopedia, a non-wiki one, at the time. They both created Wikipedia, which came to eclipse the non-wiki encyclopedia and eventually pretty much every other encyclopedia on the internet too.
