What is SCP?

“The Foundation operates to maintain normalcy, so that the worldwide civilian population can live and go on with their daily lives without fear, mistrust, or doubt in their personal beliefs, and to maintain human independence from extraterrestrial, extradimensional, and other extranormal influence¹.”

SCP stands for Secure. Contain. Protect.

To get an idea of what this entails, you are advised to observe this video lecture by Dr. Miller.

As you probably have guessed, The SCP Foundation is not a real organization. It’s fictional. Throughout this interactive essay, I will present a rundown of what the SCP wiki website is, who is behind it, what it’s used for, how it functions, and how you too can interact with the site.

The essay will feature YouTube content from some influential persons on the SCP website. While these YouTube videos may not appear on the site itself, due to the site’s general intent to uphold the facade that the SCP Wiki is indeed a database belonging to a scientific, pseudo-governmental shadow organization, they should still be thought of as an extension of the SCP Wiki’s content base.

Below is a table of contents that will help you navigate the essay portion of this WordPress. This essay can comfortably be read in any order, however, it is advised that you begin with the introduction.
