Subdomains (e.g. xyz.com/wxyz or xyz.uvw.com, etc.) currently must be added manually.

You can either visit the create subdomain page, or:

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:

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.

Currently subdomains are not automatically created by the AboutUs bot. 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.
