News for December 2020

« November 2020 | December 2020 | January 2021 »

The dynamic nature of this wiki means that linked pages might get moved, renamed, deleted, or replaced. Old news pages remain as time capsules and are not updated to account for these changes.

This is a series showing off news from the site, articles from the past month¹, and fan-content for you to check out and discover! Be sure to leave a comment with your thoughts!

Fandom Stuff

First edition of the EXPUNGED magazine, an original SCP community newsletter spotlighting articles and fan content edited together by Rounderhouse, was published.

The live action SCP short film SCP: Overlord won five awards at the Tampa Bay Underground Film Festival.

SCP-FR (the French language branch of the SCP Wiki) now has full French translations for all of the English wiki's Series 1 SCPs.

SCP-KO (the Korean language branch of the SCP Wiki) has updated its logo. It, and other branches' logos, can be seen on the International Branches Hub.

Several SCP branches ran "Secret Santa" events in which community members created gifts for each other. See the Art Exchange Hub for this wiki's 2020 gifts.

2020 By The Numbers

Fanart

You will notice little '📈' emojis beside some articles. That denotes SCP articles which were under 30 and tales which were under 20 when this edition of site news was posted. Give them a little love! Speaking from personal experience, the most frustrating thing that can happen to an article is not deletion, but stagnating below 20 without any comments. So try to read, vote, and comment on these articles! They're often hidden gems :)

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.
