About the Screamer Wiki
From Screamer Wiki
The Screamer Wiki, formerly known as the ScreamerChecker Wiki, was founded on November 11th, 2013 on Wikia (now FANDOM) by HLDK, with the simple goal to index all screamers ever made. It has since then grown to 2,081 articles, 152,574 total edits, 79 active contributors, and over 50,000 weekly visits.
The Screamer Wiki had the original purpose to let users check if a website was a screamer or not by searching the name of the website 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 pages about shock sites, games, videos, and many more.
