=='''Writing'''==
*When writing the page, use common sense, make all sentences with a CAPITAL first letter of the first word in a sentence, and to END all sentences with a period. However, you shouldn't abuse it
Replace "If The Players Presses The Button, a close-up picture of [[Regan MacNeil]] appears with A loud Scream"
with "If the player presses the button. a close-up picture of Regan MacNeil appears with a loud scream"


== '''Quotation Marks and Quotes''' ==
== Grammar ==
Make sure to follow the [https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/subject_specific_writing/journalism_and_journalistic_writing/ap_style.html Associated Press stylebook] when it comes to grammar. You are not expected to know everything about it.
 
== Quotation Marks and Quotes ==
Punctuation <i>always</i> goes inside the quotation marks except when using a colon or semicolon.

== '''Sexist/Genderist Language''' ==
== Contractions ==
DO NOT use "he" or "she" if the gender is neutral; instead (in order of recommendation), use "they" (change the sentence to be plural) "he or she," or "ze/hir" (best used upon a gender-neutral character in a screamer, but people may not know what this pronoun is).
The AP Stylebook discourages the use of contractions, as contractions are not seen as formal. The use of contractions on more formally written parts of the wiki are ''discouraged, but not prohibited.''
* <s>If the player presses the button on <b>his</b> keyboard...</s>


** If players press the button on <b>their</b> keyboards...
*Notch states that he was going to remove them at midnight on April 2nd, but didn't due to illness.

**Notch states that he was going to remove them at midnight on April 2nd, but did not due to illness.
** If the player presses the button on <b>hir</b> keyboard...
== '''Citing Sources''' ==
Generally, all work that can not be found out by the screamer itself should be cited.


There are no banned websites for citing sources. Just make sure you know that the piece is correct.

== '''Links (For Real)''' ==
Generally, all information that cannot be gathered from the screamer itself should be cited.

Normally, YouTube is a pretty good source to find music, BUT, on the Screamer Wiki, not so. Many songs are blocked in certain countries due to copyright reasons.

=='''Adding Controversial Shock Sites/Videos'''==
== Humor ==
If the video is still relevant, do <b>not</b> create an article on the Screamer Wiki about it.<br />
Adding humor is encouraged on the wiki, as long as it's sensical, decently funny, and not too offensive.
:Some governments block the video in the respective country (the Christchurch shooting is one example).<br />


=='''Humor'''==
== Categories ==
Adding humor is encouraged on the wiki. Just make sure that the joke actually makes sense. Look at [http://Rationalwiki.org RationalWiki] and [http://tcrf.net The Cutting Room Floor] for inspiration. Also, make sure jokes are not super offensive.
A screamer should never also listed as a shock site, and vice versa.
*[[Fruit Launcher]] should just be labeled as a <b>shock site</b> not a .gif or website.
The release year and origin country should also be listed in the categories, unless the information is unknown.


=='''First Sentence'''==
== Passive and Active Voices ==
In most cases, the first sentence should start off with the name of the screamer in bold. Then a brief description of the year, the type (game, video, etc), and the maker should be added.
In most cases, you should use the active voice instead of the passive voice.  
*'''The Maze''' is a game created by Jeremy Winterrowd in 2005.
=='''Periods, Commas, and other Punctuation'''==
When making a list, always add the oxford comma. This prevents misconceptions about what is happening.
*<s>[[Jeff the Killer]], [[Regan MacNeil]] and [[Pazuzu]] pop up with a scream.</s>
*[[Jeff the Killer]], [[Regan MacNeil]], and [[Pazuzu]] pop up with a scream.<br /><br /> 


=='''Categories'''==
*Active Voice: "when the player clicks the red button, a close-up picture of [[Pazuzu]] appears"
A screamer should never also be listed as a shock site, and vise versa.
**Passive Voice "when the button is clicked by a player, a close-up picture of [[Pazuzu]] is shown"
*[[Fruit Launcher]] should be just labeled as a <b>shock site</b>. Not a .gif or website.
 
=='''Passive and Active Voices'''==
Articles should tend to use the Active voice instead of the passive voice.

== Profanity ==
**Passive Voice "when the button was clicked by a player, a close-up picture of [[Pazuzu]] is shown"
=='''Profanity'''==
Profanity is allowed on the wiki uncensored. Profane language, however, should only be used in an informative manner and should never be censored.

This is the Screamer Wiki Manual of Style. All pages are expected to meet this MOS. This guide consists of how to write and edit articles on the Screamer Wiki in order to keep them uniform-looking. Anybody can add to this. An article that does not comply with the layout will have the {{Cleanup}} Template added.

Not following these guidelines will NOT get your account banned.

General page layout

The page should start with a few sentences about the screamer along with an infobox. Then, if necessary, you may break the article up into different sections. At the end of the page, there should be a "Links" section with a screamer note and an un-clickable link with the https:// removed.

Example

<!-- ... --> is a comment. They are optional and are used to clarify parts of the source code. Having them is not required when writing an article. This is an example of how the page should look like in the source editor:

Grammar

Make sure to follow the Associated Press stylebook when it comes to grammar. You are not expected to know everything about it.

Quotation Marks and Quotes

Punctuation always goes inside the quotation marks except when using a colon or semicolon.

  • "Then, a voice reads "Ever been so wide awake? K-fee. Canned caffeine with coffee."
    • "...finally hear the sound signaling the arrival of Christmas day"; the sentence then gets interrupted by the same loud scream used in the other K-fee commercials.

I, You, We

Unless quoting someone, do not use these words.

  • Replace "Once we reach the third level of The Maze, the walls get thin and you reach the screamer at the end..."
    • with "Once the player reaches the third level of The Maze, the walls get thin and the player reaches the screamer at the end..."

The exception to this one is jokes.

Contractions

The AP Stylebook discourages the use of contractions, as contractions are not seen as formal. The use of contractions on more formally written parts of the wiki are discouraged, but not prohibited.

  • Notch states that he was going to remove them at midnight on April 2nd, but didn't due to illness.
    • Notch states that he was going to remove them at midnight on April 2nd, but did not due to illness.

Citing Sources

Generally, all information that cannot be gathered from the screamer itself should be cited.

There are no banned websites for citing sources. Just make sure the sources are accurate.

Links

Screamer links should ALWAYS be non-clickable. This does not apply to other links in the article, nor censored screamers.
Make sure the link is indented with a bullet point. The description (if needed) should be bold, and placed before the link itself (which should NOT be bold). DO NOT link to content that is illegal, see here.

    • youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
  • youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ - Weird 2009 version
    • Weird 2009 Version: youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

If the link is deleted, make the text strikethrough and note that the link is deleted.

  • Deleted: Agor.io


Humor

Adding humor is encouraged on the wiki, as long as it's sensical, decently funny, and not too offensive.

Categories

A screamer should never also listed as a shock site, and vice versa.

  • Fruit Launcher should just be labeled as a shock site not a .gif or website.

The release year and origin country should also be listed in the categories, unless the information is unknown.

Passive and Active Voices

In most cases, you should use the active voice instead of the passive voice.

  • Active Voice: "when the player clicks the red button, a close-up picture of Pazuzu appears"
    • Passive Voice "when the button is clicked by a player, a close-up picture of Pazuzu is shown"

Profanity

Profanity is allowed on the wiki uncensored. Profane language, however, should only be used in an informative manner and should never be censored.

However, obsessive profanity may be muted.

Racial slurs shall only be used when absolutely necessary to explain the article. An example of this is Last Measure. Racial slurs should never be used on user pages, comments, or on the forums.

Profanity and racial slurs, however, should be always censored if they appear on the main page. Not doing this will cause a severe downranking by Google.

Attributing the Creator

The creator of the screamer should always, if known, be the creator's real name (if one person). If multiple people, the username or name of the group/company is okay.

  • Mentos + Yakult is a screamer created by Linboyz
    • Mentos + Yakult is a screamer created by Lincoln Lin Junhong (Linboyz)

Hosting Download Links to Files

Files and screamers are best hosted at the in-house files.screamer.wiki. If that is not possible, Mediafire, Mega, Catbox, or any other free public hosting service is okay.

The use of Google Drive is discouraged due to datamining concerns.

External free web hosting platforms (ex. 000webhost (screamerwikihost.net16.net)) should be avoided as well as many free hosting providers could easily terminate a website. Make sure to always archive links to any files to prevent link rot. The archived link doesn't have to be added to the article unless the original is deleted.

Archiving screamers

To archive videos or websites containing video files/animations, use Archive.org. To archive individual images/GIFs, you may use Archive.ph or Wayback Machine.

Showcase Videos

When making a showcase video, make sure to blur or pixelate the screamer/shocking content itself and mute any screams. This will avoid scaring or shocking the viewer too much, especially if they have a heart condition. The recording should be at the highest resolution possible.

Table of Contents

The Table of Contents is a list of contents that can mostly be found on larger pages like K-fee commercials, Usagi Puzzle, Lomando.com, and Luna Game. On said pages, the TOC should not be hidden. Smaller pages with only one or two sections should either have {{TOCDefault}} added or __NOTOC__ at the bottom.

Biases

Follow WP:NPOV. All articles should have a neutral point of view. This also applies to hyperlinks in most cases. Examples of what not to do are linking to Rotten Websites Wiki because you don't like a website or linking to Conservapedia or Liberapedia for George W Bush.

This, of course, does not apply to comments or user pages.

Unsupported Attributions

Words to watch: some people say, many scholars state, it is believed/regarded/considered, many are of the opinion, most feel, experts declare, it is often reported, it is widely thought, research has shown, science says, scientists claim, it is often said, officially, is widely regarded as, X has been described as Y ...

An illustration from Wikipedia that explains weasel words.

Weasel words are words done to assert an attribution to nobody. You must attribute who those "some people" are. If you see an article that does not attribute, add {{Who}} to that line, or fix the line yourself if you know the correct attributions.

The examples above are not automatically weasel words. They may also be used in the lead section of an article or in a wikipedia:topic sentence of a paragraph, and the article body or the rest of the paragraph can supply attribution. Likewise, views that are properly attributed to a reliable source may use similar expressions, if those expressions accurately represent the opinions of the source. Reliable sources may analyze and interpret, but for editors to do so would violate the Neutral point of view policy.

  • Some people think Rata Bailando is the scariest screamer out there.
    • [delete entirely]
  • ...but people have complained about it scaring them.
    • ...but a few users[1] complained to AnimatorXP about the game scaring them.
