SCP Foundation

Item #: SCP Foundation

Object Class: Dogshit

Special Containment Procedures: Under no circumstances should any person enter the SCP Foundation Wiki. Any individual exposed to the SCP Foundation Wiki must immediately report to Dr. M██████ for compulsory medical evaluation. Cyanide pills will be issued on a case-by-case basis. In the case an SCP wiki member exhibits signs of self-awareness and/or creative thinking, Mobile Task Force Beta-137 ("Glue Sniffers") operatives are to be dispatched to user's location. The use of elevated force and high-impact banhammers is authorized.

Discovery Log: First SCP sighting was reported on the /x/ imageboard of 4chan, dated to ██/██/2007. This original instance (designated SCP-173) was quickly followed by many other copycat pastas, utilizing the same clinical language and post format to describe common creepypasta tropes.

Description: The SCP Foundation Wiki is a website dedicated to the preservation and cataloguing of the numerous SCP copypastas that proliferated throughout /x/ and other miscellaneous internet forums beginning in 2007. SCP articles are short fiction works describing anomalous items housed by a shadowy world-spanning organization known as the SCP Foundation. SCP stands for either "Special Containment Procedures" or "Secure, Contain, Protect", depending on the mental faculties of the person being asked. From a very early stage the SCP wiki encouraged its users to contribute their own SCP articles to the site. This had had a detrimental effect on the overall quality of website, as most SCP wiki users evidently lack the writing ability necessary to create worthwhile original content.

The SCP wiki is under the management of an elitist council of left-wing LGBTQA+ staff members who maintain a strict policy of politically motivated gatekeeping. Theoretically, in order to write for the SCP wiki, an applicant must demonstrate adequate grammatical skills and a level of maturity greater than the typical fifteen-year-old. However, empirical observations have shown these requirements are rarely met, contributing to the sad state of the site.

Despite its noted lack of quality, as of 202█ the SCP wiki continues to chug along, shitting out █████████ ███████ at an alarming pace. The highest rated articles remain the few good ones written by anonymous 4chan users and early goon adopters. Most other notable articles invariably describe ████ monsters that have accumulated upvotes over the years by appealing to goth middleschoolers. As the sheer quantity of SCP articles increases, newer stories can only gain notoriety by employing unnecessary gimmicks that mess with the site's format.
