If you are quoting more than 4 lines, then use <nowiki><blockquote></nowiki> instead. You do not need to put quotation marks around the quote when you use blockquote. | |||
You can also use the template <nowiki>{{Quote}}</nowiki> to mention anything stated by the speaker or in the screamer. This template is normally only used before the lead text or inside the heading. | |||
<pre> | |||
{{Quote| text here | speaker }} | |||
Appropriately follow the template and replace the "text here" and "speaker" with anything you want to attribute from the article. | |||
{{Quote|I made this game in October of '04 for Halloween and sent it to a few of my friends in an email. About 5 months later, someone had sent the same email back to my mother!

== Dealing with political screamers == | |||
Some political screamers do indeed exist. For example, the [[Free Enterprise Fund Committee Commercial]]. It's important that when reporting on a political screamer, you do not write the article in a way which is biased to support one side over the other. You may indeed make jokes in the article still, but make sure they are not done in a way that would be partisan. | |||

== Artificial Intelligence == | |||
Avoid the usage of AI when writing your pages. While indeed, ChatGPT and other tools can help you write or rewrite pages, they have a very specific way of writing sentences which removes all creativity and openness that a human has, and people can tell when something is AI-generated. Do not add any [https://screamer.wiki/index.php?title=Waifu_Basics&diff=prev&oldid=149479&diffmode=source unnecessary sentences] that are written by AI (including non-AI too) to an article either. You can still use it to help you out however. | |||
