'''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 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. Screamer Wiki has since then grown to {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles, {{NUMBEROFEDITS}} total edits, and over 150,000 weekly visits. | |||
