This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-2894.
I used exactly the same coding as I did in the sandbox and it works there, I also uploaded the images to this page and tried renaming them…
must be the size of the image then. Most wikis have trouble handling large images what are the specs for the image?
I am looking at them right now, open in another tab. Trust me, it's working. You probably need to CTRL+F5 before you see it.
After you upload images, the page refreshes, but you're only going to see the images on the page once you've refreshed again. What can I say? Wikidot is poop.
Other then the image problem you have been having. Is this SCP suppose to be neutralized or Thaumiel. its not really clear to me but I think If I reread it would come to me . Also a little bit to much Blacked out text it covers up a lot of the lore and backstory to the SCP, I cant make heads or tails of what it is suppose to be exactly. its an island but is their something on it that makes it ultra dangerous or what is it. Basically what im saying is that their is way way too much blacked out text.
The thaumiel is an object that doesn't exist, the file was found in the SCP database. The black boxes in the last addendum are there for a very good reason related to the plot of the story.
So basically this is the one that some how disappeared from all records if im following the idea behind this object?
I understand that you're using the blackboxes as an indication of data lost in the timebreak, but it's overused to the point of seriously harming the readability of the document. Especially when it's just erasing a letter or two in the middle of a word that is obvious in context. I would recommend fixing a lot of that and prefacing the docs with something like:
The following document is a heuristic analysis recovery of a document that was located with approximately 57% data corruption. Estimated accuracy of this document is 85%.
Let's you keep some of the blackboxes while not overwhelming the reader.
Giving bearhugs to the unsuspecting since 1872.
Exactly isn't there an article on the black boxes on how much is too much and what not?
its getting there still so so many black boxes for the other entity
I understand that but wow I mean its like black boxed to hell and back. though this idea is very witty and such
I didn't feel overwhelmed at all. I got the idea of it completely by the end - Metatron-13 was needed, but because it wasn't perfected, it eliminated itself and a great deal of information pertaining to it, along with the original SCP threat. So the original "Neutralized" status isn't a smokescreen, it's the result of Metatron-13, which no longer exists (or existed).
I think the amoun of blackout is dead-on. Works really well for a project that's corrupted because of a reality restructuring, rather than a simple 'corruption.'
If a target were totally removed from spacee-████
I think that word has an e too many.
But it's a lovely story, and I personally think the erratic blackboxing enhances it. Here, have the +1 I promised when you posted the draft.
I see what you're going for, and I like it, but with the amount of blackboxing going on, I'm not actually sure whether or not I want to upvote or not. It's a matter of how you executed it (specifically all the blackboxing in the final document, when it seems like a bit too much).
EDIT: Upon further thinking, downvote. I gotta agree with quite a number of Kalinin's feedback, but I could let a lot of it slide if the last collapsible wasn't so incomprehensible and painful to read in a way that shuts the reader off from caring.
(account deleted)"Seemingly innocuous phenomenon that turns out to be world-destroying when you click the collapsibles" is a trick that I'm pretty burnt out on. I feel like I've seen it a ton in the last year or so. This isn't really a much different take on that concept, and in fact for the amount of text I'm reading through it's quite thin. There's a thing that's putting extra water into the oceans, the Foundation can't contain it, so it somehow erases it from history. I'm not an advocate of artificial article lengthening, but for something that destroys the world and necessitates fucking around with time itself, it's pretty bare bones in terms of story.
There's also a few dissonant notes in terms of narrative here for me. The idea of the Foundation firing nukes into this thing with seemingly no real objective other than to somehow blow up a dimensional anomaly. A dimensional anomaly, by the way, with a completely unknown location on the other side. The idea of an organization deploying nuclear weapons in such a haphazard manner shatters my personal threshold of rationality. I also found the "Project Metatron" title to be exceedingly goofy.
And no, I don't care for the use of blackboxing. It severely interrupts the flow of what's being read to the point of being exceedingly unpleasant. There has to be a better way of presenting those scraps of information. And on a minor note, the alloy used for the original containtment procedure being [REDACTED] obtained from [REDACTED AGAIN] struck me as kind of a poor use of censorship.
I feel like the concept of "secret Thaumiel thing that erases history," especially given the other comparable-style articles we already have that explore this subject, requires a lot more work than was put in here.
The idea of removing something from continuity but having to leave enough information to avoid paradox is kind of interesting. Unfortunately too much of the story focused a not particularly well done inter-dimensional portal skip to really catch my interest. (although a portal that is primarily threatening due to pressure equalization could be kind of fun in its own right)
No-vote for now.
