Why, hello there! Welcome to the Creepypasta Wiki. Here you can find great (and not so great) examples of spooky literature! What's this? Pasta of the Month? You may be wondering what this is.

This is where we highlight a magnificent pasta for one whole month! Incredible, right?

''Indefinitesilence, you have the PotM already. What the hell are you going on about?''

Let me speak.

So, how do we decide on this "Pasta of the Month?" We vote, of course! Simply read over the stories that have been nominated and select your favorite.

This one seems to have the most votes right now. If everyone else thinks it's so good, we should take a look at it too!

That's some pretty good stuff right there. You know what? Because that was such a great pasta, let's not even read the others. I'm almost certain that, despite there being at least fifteen other pastas that you could read and vote for, this one must be the best. Who could waste their time with reading other stories when this is clearly the best one there is? Let's vote for it and never look back.

Unfortunately, this is how most people vote. One pasta gets looked at, one pasta gets voted for. Now, this isn't always the case, as some pastas do recieve some love without being the most voted for. However, this is how things usually happen.

I don't know how Wiki coding works. Heck, if any of you know me, I'm a dunce about this stuff. But, if things can be done this way, I'd like to have it so that voting statistics are only available to admins so that this happens less often. If people can't see what others are voting for, they'll be a lot less tempted to hop on the bandwagon and they'll actually take the time to go through the stories and see which one they like the most.

Again, I don't even know if this is possible. I'm pretty bad when it comes to this kind of stuff. However, I think that if this were possible, and if we could make this happen, it would make the voting system a lot less advantageous for one pasta.
