'''In layman's terms''', the SCP Foundation is a wiki that serves as a collection of reports on fictional artifacts/humanoids, based around the idea of an international agency that contains items that threaten the normality of the world. These items are referred to as SCPs, with each one given containment procedures, a description, and history of experiments on them. Originated as "creepypasta" on 4chan's /x/ (paranormal) board, and then moved to its own site. For those who haven't figured by now, "SCP" stands for "Special Containment Procedures". Supplementary information includes short stories, profiles of "researchers" (authors), and an associated IRC chat room. There is also roleplay, but it's still getting off the ground, not counting a "fan made" [[Gaia Online]] guild that was disliked for having much lower standards. And to prevent any future fandom flame wars, the SCP Foundation website predated the TV series ''[[Warehouse 13]]'', but not ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]''.
Given the sheer number of contributors, SCP Foundation is without a doubt the largest collaborative work of fiction in history.
An independently developed survival horror game called ''SCP: Containment Breach'' revolves around SCP-173 escaping its chamber. New versions are constantly released. [http://www.scpcbgame.com/ It can be found here].

Line 75 ⟶ 78:
* [[Author Avatar]]: All named high-ranking members are fictional counterparts of wiki's administrative staff. The writers' personalities tend to differ (sometimes significantly) from their characters' personalities. Except for Dr. Bright. [[Jerkass|What you read is pretty much what you get]]. Besides the "body jumper" bit.
* [[Auto Cannibalism]]: [http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-524 SCP-524], an [[Extreme Omnivore]] rabbit who is ''so'' extreme that his diet includes himself. When the only remaining parts of his body are parts that he can't reach with his mouth, [[Alien Geometries|his mouth flips inside out]], swallowing himself whole in one final gulp. Half an hour later he'll re-appear, whole and unharmed.
* [[Atlantis]]: Kinda, [http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1069
* [[Badass Normal]]: Most competent Foundation personnel. For example, one of SCP-140's archeological digs went very, ''very'' wrong. The ''doctor in charge of the site'' sacrificed his life to stop whatever the Hell was in there.
** Dr. Clef was placed in a room with [http://scp-wiki.net/scp-682 682] and ''stared the beast to a standstill.''
*** Though this
* [[Bag of Holding]]: [http://scp-wiki.net/scp-101 SCP-101] is of the 'Bag of Devouring' variant.
* [[Batman Gambit]]: How {{spoiler|Dr Mann tries to become the Administrator}}
Line 230 ⟶ 233:
* [[Generic Doomsday Villain]] - Averted. No matter how powerful it is, this won't include as SCP. [http://www.scp-wiki.net/eldritch-application Not even] [[Zalgo]].
* [[Genius Loci]]: [http://scp-wiki.net/scp-599 SCP-599] is looking for new citizens.
* [[Genre Shift]]: [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5002 SCP 5002] is very different than most SCP files in that SCP 5002 is dead from the start of the story, having been murdered while in SCP custody. Who killed her? That's the point, this File is a [[Fair Play Whodunit]] story.
* [[Geometric Magic]]: [http://scp-wiki.net/scp-259 SCP-259] acts as this, and no good comes of it.
* [[Groin Attack]]: [http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-113 "In about half of failed transformation, partial or complete obliteration of the genitals is experienced..."]
Line 278 ⟶ 282:
* [[Hyper-Destructive Bouncing Ball]]: [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-018 SCP-018], an affront to the laws of thermodynamics-- it's a 6cm red ball that can bounce with 200% efficiency.
* [[Hyperspace Is a Scary Place]]: many different varieties. [http://scp-wiki.net/SCP-616 SCP-616]'s original form (and the door in the new 616) is a portal to a [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]] and could have been taken straight out of ''[[Event Horizon]]'' ...merely looking at anything taken from beyond the door will make you instantly homicidal, suicidal, insane, dead, or all four. Oh, and rather counter-intuitively, allowing that door to close is the ''worst thing you could do.''

Line 286 ⟶ 289:
** Somewhat less humorously, it's because of multiverse versions of him occasionally popping up in his place.
* [[I'm a Doctor, Not a Placeholder]]: [http://scp-wiki.net/scp-890 SCP-890], a master surgeon who only operates on machines, refuses to treat humans because he's "a surgeon, not a veterinarian".
* [[Immortality]]: Dr. Bright is bound to an amulet that makes him a cocktail of Types IV, VII, and IX.
** [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-682 682] [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Hard To Kill Lizard]]. They can contain it only by keeping it in a badly damaged state. The Foundation is actively trying to find a way to kill it, including using other SCPs, which actually results in more than one [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]], as anything lethal will sooner or later be sent against it. At this point they've tried:
*** Using a statue that will kill anybody who looks at it. {{spoiler|682 faked being dead and tried to escape.}}
*** Cutting it in half with a laser. {{spoiler|The two parts started moving independently and tried to escape.}}
*** An omnipotent butler capable of doing anything admitted he cannot kill 682 and can stop it only for a short amount of time. Another omnipotent entity, when asked what it wants in exchange for killing 682, said that the Foundation couldn't afford it.
*** A toothbrush capable of disintegrating any inorganic material it comes in contact with. Not only did it not work, we also got this:
{{quote|Theory: 682 is not bound to base Earth biological chemistry and can adapt itself to be 'organic' or 'inorganic' as necessary. Some of the boys on the lab are arguing whether we can even classify it as 'living', at least as we understand life. This worries me, because an unliving, undying intelligent monster… well, that's where you start getting sacrifices in your name. — Dr. Zara }}
*** One of the researchers wrote a 12-page short story called ''The Generally Nice, Friendly Thing That Can And Will Kill SCP-682 Permanently if it So Much As Spots That Damn Lizard'', put it between a pair of bookends that sends anybody who is in the same room with them into the world of the book they contain, and herded 682 into the room. {{spoiler|682 escaped, the short story having turned into a 209-page novel describing an epic battle between two monsters, titled ''The Generally Nice, Friendly Thing That Tried To Kill SCP-682 Permanently But Failed''.}}
*** A camera that disintegrates any living being that comes in its lens' view. {{spoiler|682 was teleported to a different location}}.
*** Living doll that kills anything that stops looking at it. {{spoiler|It damaged 682, but was too small to kill it.}}
*** [[Hurl It Into the Sun]]. {{spoiler|It came back on fire.}}
*** Someone suggested using a Nuclear Weapon, but it was denied:
{{quote|One would think that putting SCP-682 in the epicenter of an explosion that can cause third-degree burns at a distance of 300 km is a good idea, but as long as there are odds of survival we simply cannot go through with it. Yes, it's a goddamn nuke, but if 682 survives and adapts we'd be boned beyond belief.}}
*** [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-343 God]. {{spoiler|He couldn't even detect 682's presence, and when informed later that it was SCP-682 they'd tried to get him to destroy, he replied "He's not one of mine. Deal with him yourself."}}
* [[Improbably High IQ]]: The [[Blob Monster|Blob Monsters]] created by overexposure to [http://scp-wiki.net/scp-427 427] are claimed to have IQ that could possibly exceed 400.
** This is discussed at length in its comments section. Everyone seems to have forgot about it though.
Line 299 ⟶ 316:
* [[It Got Worse]]: A feature of many articles. Often indicated by strikethrough text showing the old containment procedure, followed by the incident that made it inadequate.
** Also how recovery reports tend to go.
* [[Joke Character]]: SCPs labeled J-class are written with humorous intent.
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Amusingly parodied with [http://scp-wiki.net/scp-572 SCP-572], which makes the user suicidally overconfident of their warrior skills.
* [[Kicked Upstairs]]: The Foundation has been known to assign especially moronic personnel (such as a researcher who proposed that [http://scp-wiki.net/scp-447 SCP-447] be used to take out [http://scp-wiki.net/scp-682 SCP-682]) to Keter duty.
Line 304 ⟶ 322:
* [[Language of Truth]]: [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1206 SCP-1206] causes people to speak a language that expresses exactly what they are thinking in a word. It is impossible to lie while speaking it, which often drives a wedge between people who speak it.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Class A Amnesiacs.
* [[Last Stand]]: The Battle of Ganzir for the GOC and Humanity as a whole.
* [[Lawful Stupid]]: [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1434 SCP 1434] causes not only the local police to act like this but starts enacting increadbly stupid laws. It gets to the point where the police will kill someone for not cosuming drinks with less then 3 percent gasoline in it.
* [[A Lighter Shade of Grey]]: The Foundation considers itself this. See also, [[Necessary Evil]] and [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]].
Line 336 ⟶ 355:
** ''Addendum 387-6: Jesus fucking Christ. - Dr. Arch''
** Said result might be justified in a [[Noodle Incident]] mentionned as the following:
***
* [[More Dakka]]: Referenced on the "the-things-dr-bright-is-not-allowed-to-do-at-the-foundation" page- one of the phrases the SCP's motto is not is "We always need more Dakka!" Additionally, one of the rules on that page is that Dr. Bright is no longer allowed to offer the solution of "Use more guns" to any problem.
** There's an SCP that is a bottomless magazine (or clip, or mag clip, or speedloader, or...) that fits into any weapon, and there's a chance that a shot coming from it does something odd (freezes targets, fires [[Magic Bullets]], randomly explodes a body part not aimed at, et cetera).
Line 566 ⟶ 585:
* [[The World Is Always Doomed]]: If you take all the SCPs as canon, the world is doomed in over a hundred different ways.
* [[World of Silence]]: World Without Man has the ability to do this. The worst part is that this was the creators' intent.
* [[You Are Number Six]]:
** D Class personnel are identified by their numbers.
** O5- The O5 Council leadership of the foundation are identified by their number.
** SCP Every humanoid SCP is referred to by their designated number. Most of them don't mind this.
* [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form]]: [http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-055 SCP-55], the self-keeping secret. Everything about it is unknown, ''except that you can't know anything about it''. The SCP will erase any memories that pertain to it from the minds of intelligent humans who observe it. Its very image, copied onto photographs or drawings, will also become impossible to remember or describe within seconds of looking at it. Any scientific readings about it will be forgotten immediately after viewing them. There's only one hitch. It will not prevent you from remembering what it is ''not'', provided you can be reminded you ever looked at it at all.
* [[You Dirty Rat]]: [http://scp-wiki.net/scp-731 SCP-731] is a manhole cover. Rats are involved too. It is [[Better Than It Sounds|Way Creepier Than It Sounds]]. [http://scp-wiki.net/scp-798 SCP-798] is more lonely but no less weird.
