If the page you are on "looks fine," it is most likely (but not certainly) because its theme is overriding the SCP Wiki's default Sigma-10 theme. If you were to then navigate to a Sigma-10 page, such as the Front Page, it would likely appear broken.
Alternatively, if you know for sure that Sigma-10 is loading, the error is most likely mistakenly appearing because you switched the Sigma-10 theme to a different theme using the ThemePreviewer module or another similar feature. If this is the case, and you are the author of the page, add the following code to it to remove the warning:
[[module css]]
#top-bar .ios-cache-issue-notification {
display: none !important;
}

"Each guard is to be armed with non-lethal tranquilizer pistols, loaded with no less than fifteen-hundred (1500) mililitres of cyclopyrrolone tranquilizer."
Even if this is stored in a tank rather than in individual projectiles, that's a very large amount of ammo for a pistol. Seems like those weapons would be rather unwieldy.
Incredibly so. That's a litre and a half of tranquilizer. Even assuming it's spread over fifteen rounds, that's still two and a half rounds equalling the size of a can of Red Bull.
I can only assume it was meant to be either milligrams, which is the usual measure of narcotics dosage, or the author thought 'milli' in metric is actually 'millionths' instead of 'thousandths'.
SCP-056 is to be kept in a room of its choosing, with whatever furnishings it expresses desire for. Level 1 personnel and above may interact with SCP-056 at any time they choose,
The subject is to be allowed access to any object it desires, with the exceptions of weapons, communication devices, an internet connection, and other SCP objects. It may wander in Research Sector ██ as it wills
I know that there are still limits for this guy, but he still comes off a bit mary-sueish even with his powers. Anyone else get that vibe?
Actually, I think it's a great deconstruction of the Mary-Sue concept.
I do wonder why it's allowed to wander the facility so freely and why so many of its requests are granted, though, especially given its past attempt to leak information and its initial resistance to capture.
Huh. I didn't find it sue-ish at all, nor a parody of one. Frankly, I don't think it has anything to do at all with Mary-Sues. It's a mimic with a need to be admired.
The reason its requests are granted is because it's completely harmless, unless you count damage to your ego. Keep it away from the outside world and nothing bad can possibly happen.
I'd downgrade that sentence to "may be granted", though. I suppose it could turn violent if we deny all its requests, and it's nice to have something that doesn't require blast doors and passcode entry, but we don't need to appease it.
Edited by Clef: I'm not sure if you were trying to be funny, sarcastic, or just a jerk, but either way, this post was made of fail.
Oh, man, clef, no! He was doing a parody of the SCPs effect, seen? A need to be seen as superior. I thought it was kinda amusing.
edited - I was going to ask what benefit the foundation gets in not killing this quite dangerous resource-drain, but reading again it looks a lot harder to kill than initially thought.
Secure, Contain, Protect.
Not shoot shit up. That's the GOC's job.
Did anyone tell Clef that?
Fair enough it gets contained given it's Euclid class.
Although "shoot shit up" is indeed one the foundations primary goals if it's Keter-class.
"Research into the neutralization of Keter class SCPs is always a top priority for the Foundation."
I would like to see a testing log where 056 is exposed to a mentally ill or self destructive person.
When exposed to someone self-destructive, 056 would become an obviously healthy and satisfied version of that person. "Look, I can live your life better than you can. You pathetic loser."
I hope you don't mind the necro, but if this item is a "I do it better" thing, what if we expose the item to a person that wants to be better at being selfdestructive or better at being ugly. The knee-jerk response may be to say those people do not exist, but they do.
Also, if the guards try and sedate it, wouldn't it sedate the guards 'better'?
Or does this object just always do what is seen as' traditionally' better or better by it's own estimation.
I don't understand why it is allowed to move freely. It only causes dissent, It can turn into non-biological entities that are immune to tranquilizers, it is superior to any security personnel it is near, it makes people want to follow orders it gives, and it wants to leave. I don't see why it hasn't just walked out the door. Other than that, I like the idea. I am not sure it should be described as a human being if it doesn't revert to a human when isolated.
This particular SCP manages to annoy the living hell out of me. It's one thing: better than you. For any value of you, nonetheless. It's absurdly dangerous, as well. Remind me WHY this is only classed Euclid? It's got the potential to be exceedingly dangerous. Yes, I know that it's the Contain part that comes in here, since you CAN contain it… By being subservient to it. Really? It rubs me entirely the wrong way, for personal reasons. Makes me uncomfortable. Now, when I imagine myself in the containment group for this SCP, it makes me wanna kill myself. No matter what I can do, it can do better. Always. And you can't do shit about it. I think it would be very, very bad for morale at the very least. But eh, this might just be my inferiority complex speaking. That's also the reason I'm not downvoting it. That, and since I'm a newb here, so my voice counts for about less than nothing.
Um, just so we're clear…the whole point of the voting process is that you have exactly as much of a vote as everyone else. Namely, one of them. So long as you aren't downvoting because you suspect the author has a larger penis than you or something, it's legitimate. You're not going to get hazed for it or anything.
That said, -1 for all the reasons listed here. It does feel very Mary Sue to me, more than I like.
I like this article because I feel that it's all the stuff that makes Mary Sues shitty… except played for horror. Rather than suspecting that the author identifies with the SCP, and considers himself better than everyone, I suspect that the author shares the fear that we have of always being one-upped.
Agent Angus Smith spoke exactly my thoughts. I didn't like the execution during my first stay at this site and I still don't. This thing should get some serious punishment and containment thrown its way, perhaps a complete rewrite that keeps the original concept but stresses that this thing is DANGEROUS and is NOT to be released or accomodated. Perhaps a few escape attempts.
The concept is sound, but the drafting doesn't do it for me.
