How Many SCPs are there

 

The Answer!

The SCP Foundation was created in 2008, and since then has continued to thrive as one of the most prominent fictional collaboritive pieces of media on the internet. Since its inception, continuous articles have been created documenting differing SCPs in a numerical list. Some may ask however, how many SCPs have been documented since its launch in 2008?

As of August 2021, articles exist for nearly 6,600 SCP objects; new articles are frequently added.

The current Wikidot website contains numerous standard wiki features such as keyword searches and article lists. The wiki also contains a news hub, guides for writers and a central discussion forum. The wiki is moderated by staff teams; each team is responsible for a different function such as community outreach and discipline. Wikidot users are required to submit an application before they are allowed to post content. Every article on the wiki is assigned a discussion page, where members can evaluate and provide constructive criticism on submitted stories. The discussion pages are frequently used by authors to improve their stories. Members also have the ability to "upvote" articles they like and to "downvote" articles they dislike; articles that receive too many net downvotes are deleted. Writers from the Daily Dot and Bustle have noted that the website maintains strict quality control standards, and that sub-par content tends to be quickly removed.

The SCP Wiki contains over 4,200 short stories referred to as "Foundation Tales" The stories are set within the larger SCP universe, and often focus on the exploits of various Foundation staff members, SCP entities and objects, among other recurring characters and settings. Gregory Burkart, writing for Blumhouse Productions, noted that some of the Foundation Tales had a dark and bleak tone, while others were "surprisingly light-hearted".

 

Examples of SCPs

SCP-055 is an unknown object that causes anyone who examines it to forget its various characteristics, thus making it indescribable except in terms of what it is not.

SCP-087 is a staircase that appears to descend infinitely and significantly inhibits any light lit within its space. The staircase is inhabited by SCP-087-1, which is described as a face without a mouth, pupils or nostrils.

SCP-108 is a Nazi bunker system that is accessible only through a portal found in a woman's nose.

SCP-173 is a humanoid statue composed of rebar, concrete and Krylon spray paint.[6] It is immobile when directly observed, but it attacks people and breaks their neck when the line of sight with it is broken. It is extremely fast, to the point where it can move multiple meters while the observer is blinking.

SCP-294 is a coffee vending machine that can dispense anything that does or can exist in liquid form—including, on occasion, abstract concepts. Regardless of the properties of the substance chosen, the machine's polystyrene cups appear to suffer no damage from the substances dispensed into them.

SCP-426 is a toaster that can only be referred to in the first person.

SCP-999 is a large, gelatinous slime mold-like creature that smells similar to whatever is most comforting to the person it makes contact with. It has a friendly personality and is known to induce positive emotions on contact with humans and other organisms. Therefore, it is sometimes used as a tool by the SCP Foundation.

SCP-1171 is a home whose windows are always covered in condensation; by writing in the condensation on the glass, it is possible to communicate with an extra-dimensional entity whose windows are likewise covered in condensation. This entity bears significant hostility towards humans but does not know that the Foundation members are humans.

SCP-1609 is a mulch that teleports into the lungs of anyone who approaches it in an aggressive fashion or while wearing certain uniforms. It was previously a peaceful chair that teleported to any nearby person who felt the need to sit down, but it entered its current aggressive state after being inserted into a woodchipper by members of the Global Occult Coalition.

SCP-3008 is an IKEA retail store that has an infinite interior space with no outer physical bounds, causing prospective customers to be trapped inside the building after they become lost within its associated pocket dimension, designated as SCP-3008-1. It contains a rudimentary civilization formed by those customers, who are forced to survive and defend themselves against hostile creatures known as SCP-3008-2: tall, faceless humanoids wearing IKEA employee uniforms that become violently aggressive towards all humans during the dimension's simulation of night, in which its lights go out.
