== '''Table of Contents''' ==
Generally, add <nowiki>{{TocDefault}}</nowiki> to the beginning of an article so all table of contents on all pages can be mass-changed.<br />
Currently, table of contents are set to be disabled: After FANDOM updates MediaWiki, the TOC will be changed to be hidden by default.

=='''Humor'''==
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.

=='''Infoboxes'''==
{{Infobox|title = <small><div align="center">Title of Screamer or Shock site|image = The Maze Menu.png|imagecaption = Relevant photo of screamer. Imagecaption should be blank unless a description is really needed to describe the photo|maker = The person that created the screamer|date = The date the screamer was released.|type = What is the screamer? A YouTube video? A flash game?|status = Only add this if the screamer is something that cannot be described through templates. For example; "Blocked in certain countries," "Terminated,"|language = Add the template for the language of the screamer. <br><nowiki>{{English}}</nowiki>|country = Add the template for the country of origin. If you do not know the country of origin, leave this blank.<br>
<nowiki>{{USA}}</nowiki>|previous = Is this screamer part of a series? Episodes before this screamer.|next = Is this screamer part of a series? Episodes after this screamer.}}To add an infobox, use <nowiki>{{Infobox}}</nowiki>. Formally, one of the attributes was Length. If you add a length (ex. 2:21) to the infobox (or if it is already there), the length will be hidden.
