Name for the wiki

< Request a new Wiki

The name for the wiki differs from the title for the wiki in that the name is what will be used to determine the default url. For instance, a name of "musicalnotation" would be accessible as http://musicalnotation.wikicities.com/

It will also be used for interwiki links. For example, if the name is "linux", an interwiki link such as Linux:Page title would link from any wiki on Wikicities to the linux wiki.

The name should be generic so people can guess the location of your wiki. For example, if people might guess an URL of cars.wikicities.com if they were looking for a wiki about cars. Real words are therefore preferable to made up terms such as WikiCar or MyCarWiki.

The name should be short and easy to spell to avoid people typing the wrong URL when trying to find your wiki.

Choose a name which will attract people to your wiki and explain to them what the wiki is about.

The name should only contain letters, numbers, and the underscore("_") character.
