** Officially, the SCP-2747 designation does not refer to the anafabula nor the central intelligence controlling it; it only refers to the aftermath of its effects, where stories are erased from history and only discussion of them remains. All three tend to be lumped together due to CharacterizationMarchesOn and the article itself discussing the possibility of its existence.

** SCP-3922 is a device that summons the Three Moons Initiative to invade media recordings and attempt to punish any wrongdoing in them. Although the intent of the extended logs was to serve as a DeconstructiveParody of literal fiction police, there are concerns from authors that it has since decayed into on-site crossover fanfics that ignore this narrative to the point of repetition. While this normally isn't a problem on its own, the crossover aspect specifically is a point of strife due to the site clamping down on its conflict with CC-BY-SA in TheNewTwenties.

** The acronym "ABSS" ("Absolute Boundless Supernormal State") is often used to refer to [[spoiler:the Koitern's latent power and its pataphysical GateOfTruth stored within SCP-173]] from the events of SCP-CN-2510. This has never been an official name for it; it simply goes by the Chinese characters for "supernormal" ("超常态") and is localized in English as "Metanormalcy." The phrase itself appears to be a contextual mistranslation of a passage in the article that describes Metanormalcy as "infinite [and] omnipotent."
** The increasing amount of DoorStopper articles is sometimes exaggerated in proportion by offsite readers, to the point where there's a widget in the site's search functions that probes for the shortest new pages specifically to deter this notion.

** SCP-3922 is seen as suffering from this by other authors, as the SeasonalRot in its extended logs is due to contributors forgoing the original DeconstructiveParody elements of the SCP's literal policing of fiction in favor of writing entries that read more like straight fanfiction with SCP-3922-A (which has led to licensing concerns on at least one occasion.)


Added DiffLines:

* SeasonalRot: Extended collaboration logs and their associated narratives can theoretically go on infinitely, but it's generally agreed that even with external intervention, ones that stick around for ''too'' long experience noticeable declines in quality. Though they are meant to be pruned regularly by MAST, the sheer number and length of new submissions (coupled with MAST's other priorities) has rendered this unsustainable, leaving them out in the open.
** The SCP-914 logs and the subcommunity surrounding them have significant amounts of drift from the rest of the on-site community, who often view the former as an estranged group engaging in thinly-veiled roleplaying through researchers with the minds of bored college students. To their credit, though, this is lampshaded often, and the logs' current state is also sometimes described as the best-case scenario for their continued persistence (they used to be unmoderated before Leveritas stepped in.)
