What (summary)

A set of pages in AboutUs can be magically mapped to a different domain name.

Why this is important

To give people who wish to make a wiki a way to do it within AboutUs and make use of common articles, patrolling and other amenities which we provide while maintaining an address which contains their domain name.

This feature goes along with Skinterface for trees.
