The '''Screamer Wiki''', formerly known as ''ScreamerChecker Wiki'', was founded by Danish '''youTuber''' [https://youtube.com/user/AnimatorXP AnimatorXP] on November 11th, 2013, with the simple goal to index all [[Screamer|screamers]] ever made. '''Screamer Wiki''' started on a Wiki Hosting Service called '''Wikia''', now known as '''FANDOM''', and we are now operating on our own website by using a new Wiki Hosting Service called '''Miraheze'''. The Wiki has since then grown to '''{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}''' articles, '''{{NUMBEROFEDITS}}''' total edits, and over '''50,000''' weekly visits. | |||
The '''Screamer Wiki''' had the original purpose to let anyone check if a website was a screamer by searching its name on the wiki, hence the former name ''ScreamerChecker''. Since then, the wiki slowly started to open up and expand to more types of screamers: the wiki now has articles about games, videos, shock sites, and many more. | The '''Screamer Wiki''' had the original purpose to let anyone check if a website was a screamer by searching its name on the wiki, hence the former name ''ScreamerChecker''.
