由於與 WordPress 商標相關的各種原因，我們要求各位在為與 WordPress 相關的網站註冊網域名稱時，不要註冊含有「WordPress」字樣的網域名稱，建議請改用 wp 或其他同義變體。我們不是律師，但是有經驗非常豐富的律師告訴我們，必須做出這樣的要求，才能保護我們的商標。此外，也有許多使用者告訴我們，太多內含 WordPress 字樣的網域名稱讓他們感到相當困惑。

If you already have a domain with “WordPress” in it, redirecting it to the “wp” equivalent is fine, just as long as the main one users see and you promote doesn’t contain “WordPress” and in the long term you should consider transferring the old one to the Foundation.

“WordPress” in sub-domains is fine, like wordpress.example.com, we’re just concerned about top-level domains.

We’ve told this to anyone who has ever asked us, we just wanted to make it public so more people could be aware of this policy.

<whine>Other domains are using WordPress in them!</whine>

If they’re not WordPress.com, WordPress.net, WordPress.org, WordPress.tv, or WordPressFoundation.org, they’re not allowed, and you should contact the owner with a pointer to this page. We see this most frequently with spammy sites distributing plugins and themes with malware in them, which you probably don’t want to be associated with.
