'''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 become active participants and contributors. | ||
'''SCP'''s are typically proposed and 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. '''Nevertheless, proposals from regular contributors are still always welcome.''' | |||

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. | 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. | ||
In general, all '''SCP'''s must have an easily identifiable project lead or leads 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 content in proper citations). | |||

== Conditions == | |||
'''In general, if a page has been designated as part of an SCP, all normal/external minor edits should be put on hold due to the high volatility of page changes''' (this saves people the time from making minor edits of parts of pages that end up getting wiped entirely later on). During this overhaul period, summaries of the changes will take on the form of "('''SCP''' name) Overhaul In Progress" if deemed justifiably expedient. | |||
Once the overhaul has been deemed complete, the tag will removed and normal editing and summarizing procedures may resume. If one would like to be part of the content developing/editing process as it is occurring, please ask the Project Lead to be added to the project so that changes can be more precisely coordinated. Likewise, if one feels the restrictions imposed by the tag has gone on too long, please feel free to message the Project Lead or another Administrator to notify them of the situation. | |||
