Currently subdomains (e.g. xyz.com/wxyz or xyz.uvw.com, etc.) are not automatically created by the AboutUs bot and must be added manually.

You have three options.

1. Use this button and fill in a form to create a New SubDomain Page. Image:Button newsubdomain.png rect 0 0 1000 1000 click here to create a new SubDomain page desc none
2. Use this tool to have the Domain Page Boilerplate added to the page for you to fill in. To create a subdomain, please type the details into the text box below, then press enter or click Create Subdomain.

   type=create width=30 break=no preload=Create_Subdomain/Preload buttonlabel=Create Subdomain bgcolor=#FFFFFF editintro=Create_Subdomain/EditIntro default=sub.domain.com

3. Add the name in the URL listing of your browser. So that it reads:

   http://www.aboutus.org/xyz.uvw.com

   or

   http://www.aboutus.org/xyz.com/wxyz

   This will give you new page with no text, click the "edit this page link". Once you're in the edit window, copy in the following:

   {{subst:Subdomain}}

   and hit save. Edit the resulting page, just like any other wiki page on AboutUs. Please note: while the "thumbnail" technology works on top-level domains like "SnapNames.com", sometimes it doesn't work for subdomains. If it doesn't, you can always remove it in the "Edit" mode near the top of the page, between the <thumbnail> and </thumbnail> tags.
