From the Editorial Desk -

The SCP-Wiki is entirely run by volunteers. Without the tireless effort of many unsung and unnoticed volunteers, the site we all love and use (often daily) would cease to function. It is easy for Staff to disappear into our own little areas and just chug away at the minutia that makes this site work. As such, it's easy to see how there can be a disconnect between the Staff and the community we serve. It isn't always apparent to the general community the incredible amount of work that goes into keeping this site functional, and it is easy for Staff to miss trends and flows swirling through the broader community.

In an effort to address this disconnect, Staff has been involved in on-going conversation with several different sections of the broader SCP-Wiki community. Out of these conversations has been born the Town Hall Project. Over the coming months this forum will be open to the broader community in an effort to provide a bridge between the many different areas of the Wiki community. The hope is that this will allow the community a place to talk directly to staff and note their concerns / wants / criticisms. It will give staff a place to interface with the community and hopefully address/respond to those concerns.

Without conversation and communication, nothing can change. Nothing can exist long in a vacuum and hope to grow and adapt to the changing world around us. Even so, it is important to remember that as we move forward with this initiative, that everyone remember that we are all people, human beings with lives and concerns that exist outside of this community. No matter how difficult some of the conversations that need to happen become, it is good to remind ourselves that we all care a great deal about this site and where we go in the future.

Q&A:

Q: Can I replace a blurb that you wrote for one of my articles with my own? I'm not satisfied with it.

A: Absolutely. You will always have that option at any point.

Q: I noticed an error/typo/incorrect information and wish to correct it. May I?

A: Sure! If the changes are not limited to your own article(s) and/or are substantial changes across multiple entries, you should post in that month's discussion page and then make the changes.

Q: I wrote an article and it seems to have stuck. Can I send a blurb of mine to one of the frequent collaborators?

A: Yup! It's much easier if you come to us about it, and it gives you the control over what you want shown on the news page.
