This is what most articles will follow. Articles are allowed to be in the wiki if they follow the criteria. Articles that do not follow these criteria will not last much any longer here, so consider you should follow ''all'' of them at least. Please note that everyone should do this on [https://screamer.wiki/index.php?title=Special:MyPage/Sandbox&action=edit&preload=Template:UserSandbox/preload Sandbox] for practicing or when creating an article.

===General===

#Articles must have enough information to ~~have~~ a full page ~~to be added here~~. Make sure that you've described the [[screamer]] in the most detailed way possible. If they don't have enough content, it should be merged into smaller articles or be drafted.

#Articles must have enough information to create a full page. Make sure that you've described the screamer in the most detailed way possible. If they don't have enough content, it should be merged into smaller articles, marked as a stub, or be drafted (if unfinished).

~~#Make sure that these rules~~ (~~on what you should do first~~) ~~are in the correct order:~~

# Articles must be directly related to "[[screamers]]/[[shock sites]]" in some way.

:#~~Begin with the name of the~~ [[~~screamer~~]]/[[shock ~~site~~]] ~~and say what type it~~ is ~~when~~ it ~~was created, and who is the creator.~~ (~~e.g: "" The Maze "was~~ a ~~[[screamer]] flash game created by [[Jeremy Winterrowd]]~~.)

#If the article is about a lost screamer, make sure that there's enough proof that it existed at that time (even without a description). If the subject that obviously doesn't even exist is deleted,

:#~~Start adding links~~ to ~~other pages. This will engage~~ the ~~reader even further. Just a simple link can make~~ a ~~visitor come back~~ for ~~more!~~

#Other minor characters in the subject should be redirected to the original page, or have a subpage for themselves when there is enough information.

:#~~If you're gonna add a link~~ to the ~~screamer~~, ~~make it unclickable! The simple step~~ to ~~doing this is removing the "https://" part of the URL~~.

##[[Lomando.com]] characters such as Ellis should be redirected to the article's subpage. For example, Ellis must be redirected to [[Lomando.com#Ellis]] so it's easy where to find information about her.

:#~~Adding pictures/galleries~~ to ~~your article is fine too~~.

#Citing sources is not often used in many articles, but it is necessary when it comes to evidence or from where you took the block of information.

:#Citing sources is not often used in many articles, but it is necessary when it comes to evidence or from where you took the block of information.

##Citing sources avoids plagiarism (unless the article is just a copy and pasted information from another source), and it gives credit to the author (s) of the source from where you took it. This means you should cite sources by adding the author (s)' name, external link, publication date, or page numbers in books. Quotes should be taken with sources to let people know where you took them from.

:#~~Add an Infobox, a table of~~ information ~~about your subject~~. ~~It has been used in most informative articles. This should~~ be at the ~~top of~~ the ~~source code of your article when you are doing so~~.

## There should be trustworthy sources with useful information. The sources can be found as "reliable" when the accuracy is as high as the sky.

:# ~~Before you are ready to publish~~ the ~~article~~, ~~make sure that you check your~~ page ~~to see if there are any broken links or grammatical errors~~.

#Articles should follow the page layout, including headings, links, info boxes, and many more. The layout can be found at the bottom of this page. If the article doesn't correctly follow the layout will be marked for [[:Category:Cleanup Needed|cleanup]].

~~:# Once you've finished writing and published~~ the article~~, you~~'~~ll need to learn how to properly categorize~~ the ~~page. For example, [[K-fee]] is a commercial and so this would belong to~~ [[:Category:~~Commercial~~|~~Category:Commercial~~]]~~. To learn how to do so, scroll down~~.

#Use MediaWiki links (for example ''<nowiki>[[wikipedia:Example of an article|Example of an article]]</nowiki>'') instead of templates (for example ''<nowiki>{{Wikipedia|Example of an article}}</nowiki>'') because they are causing baiting.

#Makers are only allowed if they are closely related to or well-known for [[screamers]]/[[shock sites]].

~~#Use bold text once on the name of the screamer/shock site. To make a bold text, enclose the text with <nowiki>'''</nowiki>.~~

#[[Shock sites]], animations, and videos can generally have their own page if they have at least followed three of these criterias:

##Shock sites can only be added if they are well-known or if they are often called by the term.

#~~Articles~~ should have ~~proper grammar~~.

##Illegal porn videos were not considered shock sites unless they were well-known as "[[shock sites]]". Same as above.

~~===Shock site/videos===~~

##There should be no links that violate United States law.

##The article should have historical information.
