Screamer Wiki:Manual of Style

This guide consists on how to write articles on the Screamer Wiki and to keep articles uniform-looking. Anyone can add to this.

Not following this guidelines will NOT get your account banned.

Use of Headers
Headers and subheaders should always be bolded, except when putting a header on the "Links" section of an article. Headers, also, should always be Put In Title Case.

Links
Notice how "Links" is not bolded?

Quotation Marks and Quotes
Punctuation always goes inside the quotation marks except when using a colon or semicolon.
 * "Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
 * "...finally hear the sound signalling the arrival of Christmas day"; the sentence then gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other K-fee commercials.

I, You, We
Unless quoting someone, do not use these words.
 * Replace "Once we reach the third level of The Maze, the walls get thin and you reach the screamer at the end..."
 * with "Once the player reaches the third level of The Maze, the walls get thin and the player reaches the screamer at the end..."

Sexist/Genderist Language
DO NOT use "he" or "she" if the gender is neutral; instead (in order of recommendation), use "they" (change the sentence to be plural) "he or she," or "ze/hir" (best used upon a gender neutral character in a screamer, but people may not know what this pronoun is).
 * If the player presses the button on his keyboard...
 * If players press the button on their keyboards...
 * If the player presses the button on his or her keyboard...
 * If the player presses the button on hir keyboard...

Citing Sources
Generally, all work that can not be found out by the screamer itself should be cited.

There are no banned websites for citing sources. Just make sure you know that the piece is correct.

Table of Contents
Generally, add to the beginning of an article so all table of contents on all pages can be mass-changed. Currently, table of contents are set to be disabled, but that may change at any time.

Links (For Real)
Screamer links should ALWAYS be non-clickable. This does not apply to other links in the article, nor censored screamers. Make sure the link is indented with a bullet point. The description (only if needed) should be bolded and before the link itself, which should NOT be bolded. If the link is deleted, make the text strikethrough and note that the link was deleted.

Linking to Music
Normally, YouTube is a pretty good source to find music, BUT, on the Screamer Wiki, not so. Many songs are blocked in certain countries due to copyright reasons. When linking to a song, find the song on a YouTube alternative website. If you still can't find the song, keep looking.
