===Formatting page layout=== | |||
The page should start with a few sentences about the screamer along with an infobox. Then, if necessary, you may break the article up into different sections. At the end of the page, there should be a "Links" section with a screamer note and an unclickable link.<br /> | |||
==Linking | <nowiki><!-- ... --></nowiki> is a comment. They are optional and are used to clarify parts of the source code. Having them is not required when writing an article. | ||
This is an example of how the page should look like in the source editor: | |||

'''Links''' are one of the things in wiki articles that leads to another page. You should start linking to as many articles as possible, created or not, so that there's more than to read. Because linking improves navigation on our wiki, many articles are visited by clicking the links on the page. If the link leads to a non-existent page, the user will have a chance to create and write the page, thus helping the wiki to expand more. Duplicate links, which usually appear in tables, blocks of text, infoboxes, and more, are allowed. Links can be done by enclosing the text with two brackets (e.g: <nowiki>[[Lemon Party]]</nowiki>). | '''Links''' are one of the things in wiki articles that leads to another page.

'''[[Kikia]]''' is a [[flash]] [[screamer]] site that originated on an online Taiwan message board in around 2002. It features a simple animation of a stickman sitting on a patch of grass with Chinese text that appears above, while an instrumental version of "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgN-qN7Au-Q First Love]" by Hikaru Utada plays throughout the scene. The animation then cuts into another frame of a stickman standing in a city lined up with buildings, with another Chinese text appearing from above. However, a Ghost character from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_Frame Fatal Frame] interrupts with a scream. It soon ends with the yellow, bold text, "Kikia". | '''[[Kikia]]''' is a [[flash]] [[screamer]] site that originated on an online Taiwan message board in around 2002.

===Formatting dates=== | |||
==Images== | "1/11/21" could refer to one of three dates. Most dates should be written in the "Month DD, YYYY" format, for example, "November 11th, 2013." Use superscripts or suffixes such as "April 23rd" or "March 4th" sparingly. Some Asian countries use year/month/day, whereas the United States uses month/day/year. Dates in this format naturally sort properly, in addition to being the ISO standard. | ||
