Create Subdomain

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. SubDomain Form.
    Use this button and fill in a form to create a New SubDomain Page.
    Image:Button newsubdomain.png rect 0 0 138 64 click here to create a new SubDomain page desc none
  2. SubDomain template.
    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.
  3. go to the main site

    Subdomain go to this subdomain
    http://Create_Subdomain
    {{{map}}} Subdomain information:
    Template:LC PAGENAME http://images.aboutus.org/images/1/1d/DomainToolsLogo-21px.jpg Template:LC PAGENAME DomainTools.com
    CompeteLogo.png Compete.com
    BuiltWith.png BuiltWith.com
                               TakeTheWikiTourBadgelet2.png           WatchTheIntroVideoBadgelet2.png
    SubDomainTestBox template

    Just like the second option, but instead of Template:tl, add {{SubDomainTestBox|<parentcategory.tld>}} to generate the box on the right.
