Screamer Wiki | The '''Screamer Wiki''', formerly known as ''ScreamerChecker Wiki'', was founded on November 11th, 2013 by [https://youtube.com/user/AnimatorXP AnimatorXP], with the simple 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. The wiki has since then grown to {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles, {{NUMBEROFEDITS}} total edits, and over 50,000 weekly visits. | ||
Screamer Wiki/ | |||
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 much more. | |||
