The correct date format is "November 11th, 2013", not "11th November 2013". However, there is an issue where most countries abbreviate dates differently. Some Asian countries' formats are year/month/day, while the US formats their dates as month/day/year. The problem is that it could represent any of the three different dates. To avoid this problem, it's better to be written in "MM DD, YYYY" (e.g "September 14, 2012") rather than "DD MM, YYYY" (e.g "14 September, 2012") as the US's date formats are often used by many. You can use Ordinal numbers as they were allowed to be used in dates. If you need a numeric date for a table, the date should be in the ISO 8601 format YYYY-MM-DD.

			Precise time, whether specific or unspecific, should be formatted in 24-hour clock time. Just make sure to use the "at" preposition to refer to a precise time. For example, the store closed at 10:30pm.

			Here's a few guidelines on formatting dates:
			#Any dates can be specific. But two prepositions (in and on) to refer these dates should be correct.
			:#'''In''' should be used to refer unspecific dates (e.g. In 2010) and '''On''' is used to refer specific dates (e.g. On June 30th, 2017)
			#Ordinal numbers are allowed and needed in dates.
			#When you're adding the specific date of the screamer/shock site, make sure it is in UTC time in the United States.

 '''Links''' are one of the things in wiki articles that leads to another page. You should start linking to as many articles as possible, created or not, so that there's more than to read. Because linking improves navigation on our wiki, many articles are visited by clicking the links on the page. If the link leads to a non-existent page, the user will have a chance to create and write the page, thus helping the wiki to expand more. Duplicate links, which usually appear in tables, blocks of text, infoboxes, and more, are allowed. Links can be done by enclosing the text with two brackets (e.g: <nowiki>[[Lemon Party]]</nowiki>).

 '''[[Kikia]]''' is a [[flash]] [[screamer]] site that originated on an online Taiwan message board in around 2002. It features a simple animation of a stickman sitting on a patch of grass with Chinese text that appears above, while an instrumental version of "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgN-qN7Au-Q First Love]" by Hikaru Utada plays throughout the scene. The animation then cuts into another frame of a stickman standing in a city lined up with buildings, with another Chinese text appearing from above. However, a Ghost character from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_Frame Fatal Frame] interrupts with a scream. It soon ends with the yellow, bold text, "Kikia".

+===Formatting dates===
-==Images==
+"1/11/21" could refer to one of three dates. Most dates should be written in the "Month DD, YYYY" format, for example, "November 11th, 2013." Use superscripts or suffixes such as "April 23rd" or "March 4th" sparingly. Some Asian countries use year/month/day, whereas the United States uses month/day/year. Dates in this format naturally sort properly, in addition to being the ISO standard.

 You can use the screenshot as a showcase to a screamer, or any images that closely relates to, and more. Any screenshots that does not relate to the subject are not allowed. But make sure that you must [[Special:Upload|upload]] the file before you can use the image first. Images are also used to make the article look nice, and that you had to include informative captions when doing so. If you're gonna add a screenshot to an article, make sure the screenshot is in high quality, in case the readers would look at it clean.

 **Every image or images in gallery needs informative captions about itself, so readers would know what it is.
 *When it comes to picture's quality, it is preferable to use .png images rather than .jpg's because it doesn't lose quality or look compressed like .jpg does. You can convert images into .png from this website [https://image.online-convert.com/ here].

 *If there's an known alias (or unofficial known nicknames) of the subject, please add a redirect to it. For example, [[Scary Maze Game]] should be redirected to [[The Maze]] as the name is unofficial.
 *It's unnecessarily to use <nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE}}</nowiki> to change the title. This template is not needed anyway.
