'''Screamer Wiki''', also called '''Screamerfanbase''' and formerly known as '''ScreamerChecker''', was founded on November 11th, 2013 by [https://youtube.com/user/AnimatorXP AnimatorXP], with the goal to index all [[Screamer|screamers]] ever made. Screamer Wiki started out on Wikia, now known as FANDOM, and we are now operating on our own website. Screamer Wiki has since then grown to {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles, {{NUMBEROFEDITS}} total edits, and {{NUMBEROFFILES}} hosted files. | |||
Screamer Wiki had the original purpose to let anyone easily check if a website or video was a screamer by looking up its name here, hence the former name ''ScreamerChecker''. Since then, Screamer Wiki has expanded to include more types of screamers; Screamer Wiki now has articles about games, videos, shock sites, and much more! | |||
