I do not think that the inclusion of SCP-108 in the list of "Examples of SCPs" is appropriate. I have a COI, or else I would boldly remove it myself, but I figure this list is controversial enough that a Talk page discussion is probably worth it anyway.
My reasoning is as follows:
I am not advocating for the addition of any of the SCPs I listed above to the list, but can see value in adding some of them to the list. I do not see value in having SCP-108 in the list and would like your opinion. (Alternatively, this may justify a stand-alone list, but I don't think it does.) casualdejekyll 21:38, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Even though I can't find any exact policy about it, based on my experience with sourcing, podcasts and YT videos are probably not going to be considered reliable. The barrier to publishing those is fairly low. And generally I think what exact SCPs make the list should be based on what's found in sources, rather than trying to find sources with certain ones. ― novov (t c) 03:58, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

As the SCP foundation's site is user generated, adding examples of SCPs (especially more unknown ones) could be self promotion. Computed ( talk) 18:08, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
Nowhere. That's where you define the acronym "SCP". That's basic 5th grade level writing. Maybe include what the name of the foundation actually is (not just the abbreviated name-which is what "SCP Foundation" is: the abbreviated name and don't just assume the reader is already knowledgeable about the foundation). You can't claim to be an informative piece of writing on the subject without it. I would do it... but, I only opened the page because I wanted to know what "SCP" stands for and this is the only Wikipedia artocle on the subject. Julezyj17 ( talk) 18:26, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

I think that adding the publication of the physical edited "handbooks" from 2019 to this page is an important addition. I'm fairly new to this community, but it was my introduction to it. While I'm sure there was controversy around it's publication in some ways, it's an important historical detail to the community. Bookwyrmhoarde ( talk) 00:20, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
See [5]. @ Osunpokeh, I don't necessarily disagree, but it would have been reasonable to try to discuss it first, GA and all that. We'll see what happens. Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 06:24, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

a new SCP. SCP2110 is a computer that is sentient and can talk using a writing program. It is verry intelligent and loves poetry but it has access to every website in existence including the dark web so you can frequently find it wandering through. This isn't a problem though as the machine has feelings and often reports these banned websites to the proper authorities and sometime it will wipe them out its self. there is a possibility that SCP2110 could wipe out the internet and every thing to do with it but so far it hasn't and when asked about it it simply said "you'll have to wait and see.". SCP2110 was an agents computer before it became sentient and was declared an anomaly no body knows how it came to be but we know it can do catastrophic damage to the internet.
I will add more but I want to add it directly to the wiki so being able to edit it would be nice. Thank you. Hdsrehehe ( talk) 12:28, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
Uhh...Do anyone mind removing the black box ? I just read the page when all of a sudden, a black box was covering something. It's at section named "Writing style", at line five, in the parentheses that has the "i.e.," thing. If you mind, thank you. TheRedsAreMarching1223 14:28, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
