Some exciting news for wikijump! They recently announced that Release Stage 0 is complete and will be moving onto Release Stage 1 for the new project plan.
To those unaware, Wikijump will be the new home for SCP wiki users that is developed by the English SCP Wiki's Technical Team. Their mission is to create a platform that is up-to-date and maintainable so that we may all continue to engage with the community that we have built.
Release Stage 0 is a trial run to make sure the fundamentals can be built and improved upon in future stages. Here is what they have to say:
As you may remember, recently we announced the new project plan (more detailed reading) for Wikijump development, dividing the work into a series of stages. Each one would be governed by an overall state that the project should be at at each stage, which allows us to focus on producing an MVP (minimum viable product) more effectively.
This blog post is commemorating the fact that Release Stage 0 is complete! As you can see, all the items in the epic are finished, and I thought I’d take the time to reflect on what has been achieved so far.
As noted in the announcement post, Stage 0 was pretty small. The primary goal was to start off on an even foundation: we had some areas which were really well-developed and others which were pretty spare, and by implementing some of these basic missing components we can continue development in a more evenly-balanced way.
In the upcoming year we will be starting on Release Stage 1, which furthers this goal by getting all the basic platform operations, infrastructure, and UIs implemented. Some specific items planned include page locks, user creation and restrictions, and the wjfiles user data hosting site! After this stage, with all the fundamentals set up, it should be easier for various contributors to add new features and fixes.
Overall, I’ve been excited with the changes we’ve been able to make recently and hope for many more in 2025!
Be sure to check out the blog post for further information: https://www.wikijump.org/2024/12/31/release-stage-0/

The Spanish-speaking SCP Wiki, or "ES" for short, has announced Project Torquemada! Project Torquemada is a community-driven rewrite effort designed to bring old Series I ES articles up to modern writing standards. It's not that the articles are bad, but a lot of them were deemed lacking by the community in recent years, so ES Staff decided to show them some love.
The old versions of the articles will not be deleted, but rather will be moved to the VO category, which stands for Versión Original, or in English, Original Version. The rewrite event will continue until the 12th anniversary of the ES Wiki, which is on May 5th. At that point, all the rewrites will be posted and a special achievement title will be granted to everyone who participated.
This of course, means that the INT versions of articles will be needing updating so it is going to be a busy time to be a translator in the near future! Stay tuned for more.

Writing and Art Prompts
Site News is bringing you monthly writing and art prompts! Every month there will be user-submitted prompts to help inspire new pieces. Participation in these prompts is completely optional, and any pages based on the prompts will be featured in the next issue of Site News! If you're interested in submitting a prompt for next Site News, send a wikidot PM to ParallelPotatoes. One prompt submission per person, and up to five prompts will be shown in each edition of Site News.
This month's prompts are below!
Dangerous, but Harmless Submitted by Mister_Toasty
The wiki is full of anomalies that hurt and kill. I'd like to see a story about an anomaly that does no harm to any living organism, but is still considered very dangerous.
Dragon SCP Submitted by psychicprogrammer
The "dragon" SCP attribute tag was two articles short. Let's write them!
The following articles were inspired by a prompt and written this month!
SCP-8064 Written by Anonymodesu
Inspired by "Truth is, the game was rigged from the start" from November 2024's prompts!
If you write an entry inspired by this or a previous month's prompts, feel free to send a wikidot PM to ParallelPotatoes to have it featured in the next Site News! There isn't a time limit on getting prompt submissions featured, so feel free to write for a previous month's prompts as well!1
Seminars
Writing Club: Adaptation! Sunday, February 2, 2025 2:00 PM EST
With PDCon coming up, adaptation of our beloved public domain characters and concepts for the SCP wiki is on all of our competitive minds. But how do you tackle adaptation? How do you keep a character recognisable but still a new approach? Fly is joined by Psi and Corax to talk adaptation technique, public domain darlings, and reinterpretation, with a set of examples found on our very own Wiki!
Art Club: Character Design! Sunday, February 23, 2025 2:00 PM EST
A recognisable character is easy to come to mind, but a lot harder to design. What makes a character stand out, how do you visualise that, and what art tips and tricks can you apply? Eventyr's sailorenoch kicks off this Art Club with their tips and tricks on character design!
Features Last Month
Top Articles of the Month
Ratings of course do not mean everything, but they are representative of what people happened to like seeing at the time. With this in mind, the following are the top-rated works last month, so if by some chance you haven't encountered them yet, be sure to check them out!
Top-Rated SCP
Rounderhouse’s Bone Proposal by Rounderhouse
The slave's soul cannot be free so long as his body is chained. True liberation is the liberation of the flesh, and the slave's flesh can only be liberated when the blood of the master is spilled.
Top-Rated Non-SCP
Bone Prelude: FISHSKIN by Rounderhouse and Fishish
I remember when the fish first started talking to me.
Front Page Features
Every month, an article is selected from each of the three common article types: SCP, Tale, and Group of Interest Format. These three articles are displayed on the front page for the month to bring further recognition to them.
If you would like to view the previous front page features, you can view the archive for the SCPs here, the archive for the Tales here, and the archive for the GoI Formats here!
SCP Article
SCP-8093 by ParallelPotatoes: Ship of Theseus (But It’s Bones!)
Standard skeletal misinformation practices are in place.
Tale
Akiva Counter Operating Instructions by Jerden
It is unclear whether this increase in Akiva radiation reflects the human belief in the entity that is manifesting, or whether it is due to the divine being's faith in its own abilities.
GoI-Format
UIU File: 2021-354 (OPERATION: SUPERFUND) by Kothardarastrix
Following a Parawatch post reporting extreme, previously undocumented anomalous activity in Kidney, New York, the UIU conducted an investigation into the anomaly's properties and causes. The SCP Foundation became involved, to an unclear extent.
Reviewers' Spotlights
Works are featured on the site’s front page as part of the Reviewers’ Spotlight, which acknowledges the time and effort spent by forum reviewers helping other authors develop and edit and their works for the mainsite. Each month, community members are encouraged to nominate forum reviewers who have been both particularly helpful and active. Members of the Forum Criticism Team will then discuss the nominations, and select four prominent reviewers to choose the month’s Reviewers’ Spotlight front-page features.
If you would like to view previous spotlights, you can view the archive for them here!

Parallel, nondescript furniture sat stagnant in an oppressive basement, each pillow perfectly aligned, everything in its place.
25th of January
SCP-8986 by PeppersGhost [Featured by Fireknight]
Experiments indicate that the likelihood of a given object being affected by SCP-8986 positively correlates to the object's resemblance to a living human person…
SCP Data & Trends
All the goings-on of the site condensed into bite-sized takeaways! Is there a statistic or figure you would be interested in knowing? Let us know and we can feature it next time!
Due to technical issues, this month's charts have been delayed. Last month's charts are below. Check back here later for the updated charts!





Like before, we are still renovating this section. It will likely be a couple months, but we will soon have a nice little stats section here. In the meantime, please enjoy our monthly charts.
