Please note that once something is posted to the mainsite, it is submitted for summary judgment!
Reviewers may be less likely to post critique on mainsite posts compared to during the drafting process.
Please note that authors are expected to reach out to reviewers to request feedback, rather than just waiting for someone to respond.

As a basic instruction, to create a new concept critique thread, go to the main forum listing: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/c-89000/help:ideas-critique and click the "Create a new thread" button.
As of March 2020, all authors seeking conceptual critique must use the following template:
Seeking Greenlights: Put yes or no.
Page Type: SCP Article, Tale, GoI Format, Joke SCP, Site Dossier, Other (specify)
Genre (Optional): Horror, Drama/Emotional, Comedy, Action, History, Other (specify)Page Layout (Optional): How will you structure the page in terms of information presentation, or plot development? If you plan on using a unique format/format screw, describe that here.
Elevator Pitch: One or two sentences explaining the basics of your idea in a concise manner.
Central Narrative: The overall story that your article intends to tell. (An example: SCP-1440's major story is how he got his powers, not how he uses them.) Remember, this is NOT a description or list of anomalous effects!
Hook/Attention-Grabber (Optional): What is novel/unique about your premise? What is special about your idea here that will make it stand out among the other works already on the mainsite?
Additional Notes: Note any concerns or particular areas of assistance you would like reviewers to focus on.
