In terms of [[PsychonautWiki]] content development, a '''Special Content Project''' (or '''SCP''') refers to any kind of strategy or initiative meant to identify and improve parts of the site that are agreed to be lacking or needing urgent attention over an extended timescale.  
In terms of [[PsychonautWiki]] content development, a '''Special Content Project''' (or '''SCP''') refers to any kind of strategy or initiative meant to identify and improve parts of the site that are agreed to be lacking or needing urgent attention over an extended or compressed timescale. '''SCP'''s are designed to draw attention to sections of the Wiki that are being actively developed to signal their potential unreliability. They are also meant to increase the chances of community involvement and encourage readers to becoming active participants and contributors.

An '''SCP''' can be thought of as strategic project of creating, revising organizing, or expanding on the informative and educational content available on the Wiki (i.e. making sure it is in accordance with its [[Guidelines|guidelines]] and values of the community) to optimize the speed in which the content is developed and refined.

== Organization ==
'''SCP'''s are typically organized by administrators or scholars, who oversee the project in terms of identifying the tactics and resources that are needed and having a clear and focused sense on what to improve, ideally drawing and coordinating the effort with those who decide to volunteer after seeing the active project development panels. '''SCP'''s must have an easily identifiable project lead who takes on primary responsibility for the project and acts as its interface to greater site content development initiatives (such as increasing the scientific rigor and grounding of our claims).

'''Nevertheless, proposals from regular contributors are still always welcome.'''
