=='''How to create/edit a page'''==
# <span>Do not create </span><span class="">unrelated</span><span> or </span><span class="">spam</span><span> pages. Please use either the </span>[[Special:Forum|forum]]<span>, the chat, or your user blog to communicate with other users.</span>
# Never use any scary images or ''clickable links'' directly to the screamer page. You are allowed to use ''un-clickable links''. 
# Do not give any false information, but only facts. 
# Use correct grammar and spelling, w<span>rite in English.</span> ''If this rule is violated, your account won't get banned.'' 
# The page name must always be the''' name of the screamer site''', without '''www.''' or '''http://'''. 
# Do not delete content on an existing page. 

== '''Good practices''' ==
* <span>Delete any scary images, videos or ''clickable links'' that go directly to the screamer page and replace them with ''un-clickable links''.</span>
