Yeah this addition is fine. It's been a long while since those rules have been implemented so we kinda just forgot about them once the SCP wiki evolved.

Actually, the reason why I propose this is because someone claimed that CN Breach is "broken". But further, a proposal for better organizing profiles from different breaches may be launched considering that we already have three non-English-breach SCP profiles.
 
I mean yeah, if the other branches have their own canons they would fall under our current canon scaling system.

The current foreign branch profiles aren't part of any canon to my knowledge, and they're mostly standalone.

Like other breaches can make a story where they finally killed 682, but it is not reliable to assume that the 682 they killed is Extended Canon 682/
 
To be clear, this is creating standards for foreign language SCPs?

I think that having those is a problem unto itself, but yeah, they shouldn't cross-scale on-wiki if they don't intersect off-wiki. Seems fair.
 
Yes, should we even feature them at all if their information has not been translated into English?

Since users can translate foreign SCPs in SCP International, translated SCPs are preferred.
 
Wait so, what this thread plans to do is allow the use of other branches?

Like, can I go ahead and just make a profile for a Korean SCP branch, as long as it's translated?

Why is the 682 termination log considered extended canon when it is linked directly from 682 page?

You presumably could since there are already three profiles from other branches and Mariogoods even gave a link for that.

As I said, as long as it's treated with the same separate canon stuff already used, it is no more problematic than the current standing SCP rulings.
 
Thank you for the replies. I think that this revision seems to have been accepted then.

I have noticed this, though

Scaling and Canon Rules for the SCP Foundation

As a collaborative writing site, there is a number of issues with scaling, and even narrative consistency within the SCP Foundation verse. Due to the popularity of the website, hundreds of different authors contribute different views of the universe or multiverse, different views of the works of...

is currently locked and therefore maybe someone else could help add the proposed rule.
 
I have unlocked the page for you. Tell me here when you are done.
 
Can you improve on the language structure of your linked edit above first please? It is currently hard to understand what you are saying.

Update: I have reworded the rule, but I'm not sure if it is OK.

It looked mostly fine now. I made a few minor adjustments and locked the page in question.

Should I close this thread as well?
 
Thank you to everybody who helped out here.
