| Curation Team's Mission Statement |
|---|
We cut down dead matter to help new life thrive. (On a wiki. This is a metaphor.)
The Curation Team has been established to curate and elevate abandoned pages on the Wiki. As of February 2020, our primary goal is for the restoration and elevation of collaborative writing pages to a place of prominence in our community.
Juridstiction: Curation of any pages which have been abandoned by their original authors, with "abandoned" being defined as: (1) The original author having been gone for more than a year from their last post or edit, (2) No active user being delegated as a caretaker of the page(s), (3) No instructions were left expressing the author's preferences for how their page ought to be managed.
In addition any active users may volunteer their pages for curation, this does not surrender their final say over the page's content but allows Curation to manage the page on a day-to-day basis unless permission is revoked.
The Curation team also presides over the User Curated Lists.
Present Goals:
- Editing all collaborative experiment logs, character pages, and other post-and-response style pages under the Curation team's jurisdiction to establish a new baseline level of quality for these pages.
- Assigning curators to abandoned pages, responsible for ensuring that level of quality is maintained or elevated into the future. Collaborative pages without curators should be locked, with new contribution suggestions being approved or denied using the comment system.
- Creating a new collaborative pages hub, which presents the pages being actively curated along with any in-universe characters which may be associated with said page.
Long Term Goals:
- Implementing a solution to the Tales problem.
- Implementing a solution to the Canons problem
- Maintaining and updating the User Lists site feature

| Log Team's Operating Procedure |
|---|
1. One or more Loggers are assigned to review an article. They divide its logs into the following three action categories.
| 1.1. No adjustments necessary |
| 1.2. Adjustments suggested |
| 1.3. Deletion proposed |
1.1. No adjustments necessary: Logs are left in place
1.2. Adjustments suggested: Loggers move the logs to a sandbox page and suggest adjustments using the following formatting.
| Text to be removed | = | -- strikethrough -- |
| Text to be added | = | __ underlined __ |
| Logger's commentary (optional) | = | // italics // |
1.3. Deletion proposed: Logs are moved to the same sandbox as 1.2. and grouped with other proposed deletions. For The Review Board's convenience, Loggers may group large amounts of proposed deletions into subgroups - "This was already tried with [SCP-XXXX]", ''Uninteresting/Repetitive outcome'', etc.
2. The Review Board apply one of the following judgements to each log's proposed adjustments.
| • Approve suggested adjustments |
| • Request further changes |
| • Reject suggested adjustments |
3. Once a suggestion is approved by The Review Board, Loggers apply edits to the original page on the main site and move the following invisible comment to just under the last reviewed log.
1a. If a collab page is judged to have the majority of entries eligible for deletion, it can be decided to create a sandbox and only port the worthy entries over. Once this is done, the content of the original collab log can be replaced with the content of the sandbox page.
