To create a general topic article, first search the site to see if there is already an article on the subject. If you use the "search box" and have spelled the name the same way as an existing article, it will bring up that article.  If it is similar, you may find the article you are looking for under "title matches" or "page matches". If there is no similar article, then go ahead and create one!

Creating new articles is a relatively simple job at AboutUs.org! But before we head out to do that, let's look further into the wiki definition of the word 'article': there are generally two types of articles in this wiki, articles about specific website, and articles that are snippets of information about other topics.

Articles about specific websites

The current system has been populated with articles about many websites, but clearly not all of them -- after all, there are 92 Million or so domain names currently registered! But we've tried to get a lot of the more popular ones.

You can add pages to our system, see below.

Add a missing domain

If you have searched for a given domain name such as "SnapNames.com" and it was not already in the system, then you may ask the system to create a base page by entering the name in the "search" box at the top of your screen.

Note: when searching for a name, if you enter the name with capitalization that matches what is in the system, the domain should come right up. If not, you will have to select the name from the resulting search menu.

Add a missing subdomain

AboutUs wants people to start to enjoy and use wiki pages. To that end, we support page creation for subdomains. To add a subdomain to AboutUs.org search for it (like "blog.yourwebsite.com") above. |}
