Screamer Wiki:Guides/Editing

Writing Guide

This guide explains how to write an article properly. This will be useful if you are new to the Screamer Wiki.

• Begin with the name of the screamer and say what type of screamer it is, when it was created and who is the creator. (example: The Maze is a Flash game created by Jeremy Winterrowd in 2004.)
• Describe the screamer with as much detail as possible. (example: In this game, you have to move your pointer through the blue maze without touching the black walls. There are three levels in total...)

• Add pictures to your article! This will make it more interesting and visually attractive.
• Add links to other articles! This will engage the reader even further.
• Add a non-clickable link to the screamer you are talking about. (example: winterrowd.com/maze/)
• When you're done writing, please add your article in the Screamer Library to make it easier to find. Lastly, don't forget to add categories to your article. To learn how to categorize your article, please read below.
