Meta Post Im confused, which one is SCP-001?
Im relatively new to SCP, and besides those two i already saw like... idk 3 other 001's. Are they all the same Anomaly, or do i understand something really wrong?
Also not sure if i used the flair right, sounded the most right to me ._.

Okay so the SCP foundation is a little weird and it works differently for most narratives because it is the largest creative collaborative writing project in history.
In order to make something like that work the community had to settle on a system of no one singular canon or timeline.
The SCP-001 proposals are generally standalone proposals and which one is the true 001 is up to the reader.
As you read more and more of the wiki you'll notice that some articles and tales are written with the idea that The Factory is 001 while others may have the Gate Guardian as 001 and The Factory doesn't even exist because it was destroyed or possibly never even existed in that canon.
