So you might want to add e.g. "example.com" to be redirected to the proper url: "www.example.com".

www.example.com is fine but as you say, having the redirect would be better.
If you decide to offer this service it will be appreciated.

At present Wikidot can handle only one of them.
What people usually do is creating a "301" redirection for e.g. example.com -> www.example.com. At the moment you would have to do this redirection somewhere else.

I could not find any free services to offer 301 redirections… However it would be possible for Wikidot to offer such redirections. So I will think about it since it might make sense.

http://compmed.info/ still goes to my old yahoo starter page.

The example on the custom domain setup page is www format.

I guess I can live with it, but do you know how to fix it so both work?

I have done sth better: when you enter your site name with the "www" prefix, e.g. http://www.milhaus.wikidot.com, you will be automatically redirected (vie 301 redirection) to http://milhaus.wikidot.com. This should also work for specific pages, e.g. http://www.milhaus.wikidot.com/how-to-edit-pages.

I did not think it might be an issue but the fix was quick. Thanx!

It is bad, because this approach is well-known for people.

I would like to chanage at least text: 

 The site does not exist.

to 
 The site does not exist. Please try typing adress without www. prefix.

Thanks for help in advance,

Milhaus

P.S. And sorry for my English.
