Notability
This is what most articles will follow. Articles are allowed to be in the wiki if they follow the criteria. Articles that do not follow these criteria will not last much any longer here, so consider you should follow all of them at least. Please note that everyone should do this on Sandbox for practicing or when creating an article.
- Articles must have enough information to have a full page to be added here. Make sure that you've described the screamer in the most detailed way possible. If they don't have enough content, it should be merged into smaller articles or be drafted.
- Make sure that these rules (on what you should do first) are in the correct order:
- Begin with the name of the screamer/shock site and say what type it is, when it was created and who is the creator. (e.g: "" The Maze "was a screamer flash game created by Jeremy Winterrowd.)
- Start adding links to other pages. This will engage the reader even further. Just a simple link can make a visitor come back for more!
- If you're gonna add a link to the screamer, make it unclickable! The simple step to doing this is removing the "https://" part of the URL.
- Adding pictures/galleries to your article is fine too.
- Citing sources is not often used in many articles, but it is necessary when it comes to evidence or from where you took the block of information. Citing sources avoids plagiarism (unless the article is just a copy and pasted information from another source), and it gives credit to the author(s) from whom you took it.
- Add an Infobox, a table of information about your subject. It has been used in most informative articles. This should be at the top of the source code of your article when you are doing so.
- Before you are ready to publish the article, make sure that you check your page to see if there are any broken links or grammatical errors.
- Once you've finished writing and published the article, you'll need to learn how to properly categorize the page. For example, K-fee is a commercial and so this would belong to. To learn how to do so, scroll down.
- Articles must point directly to screamers/shock sites in any way.
- If the article is about a lost screamer, make sure that there's a proof that it exists in that time. If the subject that obviously doesn't even exist will not be permitted to be here.
- Use bold text once on the name of the screamer/shock site. To make a bold text, enclose the text with '''.
- Makers are only allowed if they are closely related to or well-known for screamers/shock sites. (e.g Jeremy Winterrowd is a former DJ and a game programmer. He is well-known for his flash game The Maze.)
- Articles should have proper grammar.
