=== Archive the websites! ===
You should '''ALWAYS''' archive a website. With the existence of short-life screamer websites, archiving existing screamers should be done. You can use the [https://archive.org/web/ Wayback Machine] for this. If its a software like [[Last Measure]], you must archive its source code using [https://pastebin.com/ Pastebin] by precising it is for archival purposes with a link redirecting to the Screamer Wiki and the page it is linked to.

Make the captcha/question when every time when creating/editing a page appear for non AllPageAccess users. Make the answers related to screamers even if the current question might be a kid-proof wall. When one asks for the answer, just redirect them to a wiki page. The questions can be for example:
*Who created "The Maze"? '''Jeremy Winterrowd''' or '''Winterrowd'''
*What company made the "Ghost Car" advertisement? '''K-fee''' or '''Kfee'''
*What are called Liquid Generation's pranks? '''Sabotages''' or '''Sabotage'''

These criteria might be hard to follow knowing many children use the Screamer Wiki as a platform to advertise their effortless videos with a sloppy article, ''I'm looking at you Logo Makers.'' You might mention that I take the wiki too seriously, and maybe, maybe you're right. Humor is indeed accepted in the wiki articles BUT there is nothing more serious than keeping a part of the Internet's history, screamers were and still are commonly used as a bait n' switch format and losing that would be fucking sad.
