I'm new to this, but in the section describing the overview of the SCP Foundation, shouldn't they be noted to study the anomalies that they contain, as that is one of their main principles?
editIn [1], should the sentence "the Foundation is entrusted by governments around the world to capture and contain various unexplained paranormal phenomena..." be reworded to "...capture, contain, and study various..."? Pentaract 09:21, 21 Jul 2024 (PDT)
- Sometimes there's study involved, sometimes there isn't. There's no canon. DS (talk) 17:32, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Sort of similar
editThis is off-topic, but it may interest watchers of this talkpage. It's a piece of short fiction in the form of a WP talkpage discussion. [2] Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:23, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing! Nervelita :3🏳️⚧️ (talk) 02:34, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

- This is not the SCP Wiki, if you want to publish an SCP, go there. You should also change the number, as SCPs in the 44,000s are not available for submission, only SCPs in the 8,000s are for now. 2603:6080:3804:7C8D:61D2:54F0:D2C1:B296 (talk) 17:57, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

- Typo in article
− The original SCP-137post in 2007+ The original SCP- post in 2007 - The original 4chan posts has SCP-173 written in it, and the SCP is still called SCP-173:

editSince I can't seem to edit the article directly, could someone edit the SCP-426 bullet to say "SCP-426 am a toaster that can only be referred to in the first person," or failing that "SCP-426, a toaster that can only be referred to in the first person"? As it is now, with "is," the bullet is self-contradictory 216.16.137.230 (talk) 13:24, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- Not done As stated in the FAQ at the top of this talk page, SCP-426's infohazard only exists in-universe. The article is written from a real-life perspective, per MOS:REALWORLD. -- KomradeKalashnikov (talk) 18:14, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- Then honestly just delete the bullet altogether. There are plenty of others to fill out the section without this one explicitly contradicting itself due to wiki rules 2600:8804:5601:900:ED2F:ADC2:89D7:E704 (talk) 00:06, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
- All the bullets say "SCP-x is a". IMO changing that to "SCP-x, a" is neither better or worse. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:40, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

The first sentence of this page has a grammatical error. "Featuring" needs to be changed to "featured." Bubbleguffagus (talk) 14:20, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- Both are correct, featuring is perhaps better IMO because it shows that the site is still hosting the articles and new ones are being made as well. Nervelita :3🏳️⚧️ (talk) 07:21, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- Not done: Per Nervelita. —Sirdog (talk) 23:39, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
