For the next two years all the dfwiki.* will work; I'll probably up that to ten years on the one we pick. I like dot net - it's not dot egg or dot muffin!

I'll CNAME .info and make sure it works, and then CNAME the rest.

dfwiki.net

It's plain and to the point, and easy to remember for people who don't yet understand the joys of magma.

my vote for dfwiki.net too.

I vote dfwiki.net, especially if it means we you can get dfwiki.com admins to chip in the $$ by putting a banner at the bottom of the page pointing people to their site.

A simple "df" could mean many things (DragonFable for example). "Magma" makes it stand out as the wiki of Dwarf Fortress while staying rather quirky and fun as is the nature of Dwarf Fortress. For this reason I give it first preference and I hope you do too.

Sure it is longer to type, but the first time you go there will be via a link, and then you will have added it to your bookmarks. So no big deal.

I don't care, per se.
But the dfwiki.net would be easier to recall, when I'd want to visit the site on a foreign PC or to answer the "Does DF have a wiki and where is it?" question.

.net.

Definitely not .org, since no organization is involved. .info is just silly. :)

Dfwiki.net is by far the most practical URL.
df.magmawiki.com is too long and too much dots are involved, .org doesn't fit (no organisation), .info could be cool but it's too unusual to be easily remembered.

I say dfwiki.net for ease of typing and remembering, but is there a good reason not to have all of the desired URIs point to the same resource?

TBH, I think that all dwarf fortress problem solving falls either on the "Rube Goldberg" method, or the "pharaonic" one.
{Unicorns} produce more bones if the werewolf rips them apart before they die.

DragonFable as dfwiki.com
Dwarf Fortress as dfwiki.net

Hurrr. No chance of this becoming even slightly confusing.

Good point.
Perhaps, let the magmawiki be the official one, and the dfwiki be the alias one.

Also, is there a reason why it's df.magmawiki.net and not just magmawiki.net?

.info!

I never use any .info sites...
