| Mar 2, 2016 at 19:38 | comment | added | user488805 | I don't understand the Answer given by Jeff. How does the name of the site not make sense as a topic division? Every other site that I know of is named xxxxxx.stackexchange.com, right? What makes SuperUser special that I should remember a different rule for it? | |

I too just made the same mistake as drewbenn, but in my case I typed superuser.stackexchange.com into a message, sent it, then tested it and had to send a follow-up with the correct domain. Consistency is a valuable trait, but what we have here is a conflict between two types. | |

| Feb 5, 2011 at 10:44 | comment | added | user66178 | I actually tried to get to 'superuser.stackexchange.com' tonight. From a consistency viewpoint, it would be good if all the stackexchange-run sites (everything listed at stackexchange.com/sites) had a sitename.stackexchange.com URL: if I know the site's name and I know it's hosted by stackexchange, I would like to be able to type 'sitename.stackexchange.com' and get to it (actually this is probably properly a question for ui.stackexchange.com ;)). | |
