URL of the Vanilla Forums Wiki

[Deleted User]

Not many people are using the wiki because of the URL (vanillawiki.homebrewforums.net) and I was thinking.... If we can do subdomains vanillaforums.org and vanillaforums.com, then we could do a URL like vanillawiki.vanillaforums.org, vanillawiki.vanillaforums.com, wiki.vanillaforums.org, or wiki.vanillaforums.com

Also, who's in charge of the domains here?

Tama

That would imply official endorsement (something I don't see happening anytime soon), .com is for the SaaS product: so therefore is not relevant (in most articles) to the purpose of the wiki.

But still, we have to associate the Vanilla Wiki with ONE of the Vanilla Domains, not a forum powered by Vanilla so it's more official looking

hbf

the wiki is available at vanillawiki.org

it will redirect.

Yes, but you can't make people feel like they are going to another website. @hbf Your website, homebrewforums.net and vanillaforums.org or .com do NOT go together, so when they visit vanillawiki.org (redirect) or vanillawiki.homebrewforums.net, it makes people feel like they are on a completely different website. My suggestion for Vanilla is to integrate the wiki as a subdomain to either one of vanilla's domains

The wiki is not official and isn't by the Vanilla team, so it shouldn't be a sub-domain of the main site.

thanks for the suggestion.

Uhh... Was that supposed to be an insult?

hgtonight

@hbf could you redirect http://www.vanillawiki.org/ to http://www.vanillawiki.org/index.php/Main_Page ?

I am not sure how you have that set up but the second link keeps the vanillawiki domain on subsequent link clicks.
