Screamer Wiki:About

Screamer Wiki formerly known as Screamer Checker is the largest wiki-based on Screamers was founded by AnimatorXP on November 11th, 2013, the simplest goal is to index all of the screamers ever made and has different sort of types on them. everyone gets to edit and create their own Articles and no strict rules being provided on the wiki. Screamer Wiki started out on Wikia(or FANDOM), and begins with simple introductions which informs the users that they are welcome to our wiki and added Help portals to tell help out new users. we are now operating on our website by using a new-wiki hosting service called MediaWiki. The wiki has since then grown to ' articles, ' total edits, and over 50,000 weekly visits.

The Screamer Wiki had the original purpose to let anyone check if a website was a screamer by searching its name on the wiki, hence the former name ScreamerChecker. Since then, the wiki slowly started to open up and expand to more types of screamers: the wiki now has articles about games, videos, shock sites, and much more.
