Screamer Wiki:Rules

REMEMBER: Always follow the rules. If you violate any of these rules, you will get a warning. If you repeat two more times, you will be banned from the wiki. If you vandalize the wiki, you will be banned without any warning.

Creating and editing pages

1. Avoid using scary images, videos, or clickable links that lead directly to the screamer website. Instead, use non-clickable links, or links that can't be clicked on. For example, ScaryScreamer.com.
2. Use either the forum, discussions, the chat, or your user blog to communicate with other users. Do not create pages that are out of subject, or you will get a warning.
3. Use correct grammar and spelling, write in American English. If this rule is violated, your account won't get banned. For other wiki languages, visit the Languages page.
4. The page name must always be the name of the screamer, without www. or http:// . For example, ScaryScreamer.com, and not http://www.ScaryScreamer.com. The name's capitalization may be changed to title case if necessary.
5. Do not delete, blank or replace the content of a page. If you want to delete a page, just add {{delete}} but keep the page intact.
6. Pages may be deleted if they are very small stub; for example, a page with just a link and "[Screamer name] is a screamer." If you must create a page like this, create it under "Screamer_Wiki:Draft:[Page Name]"

Forums, discussions, live chat and user blogs

Good practices

• Remove clickable links that go directly to the website and replace them with un-clickable links.
• Flag any photos or videos that contain a screamer with {{Delete}} to flag the file for deletion.
• If you see someone violating any of the rules, tell them by using this template and fix the page.
• If you see someone vandalizing the wiki, fix the page and contact an administrator.
• If you see any grammatical or spelling mistakes, correct them.
• If you see any false information, correct it.
• If there are missing categories, add them.
• If you see any articles (or portions) of articles that have been plagiarized, give credit of the portion to the original website (example: Jarsquatter) or delete the portion entirely.
• If you see any parts of an article that are uncited, cite them or add {{citation}}
• Make sure articles follow the Manual of Style

Templates and examples

• Here is an example of good page; it contains images, pertinent info, links, a gallery, and is well structured.
