✖ – hide block The SCP Wiki's default theme failed to load. If you see this error and are experiencing graphical issues, you may be able to resolve it by refreshing the page. If you are on iOS, you may also need to clear your cache. Seeing this error by mistake? – hide block

If the page you are on "looks fine," it is most likely (but not certainly) because its theme is overriding the SCP Wiki's default Sigma-10 theme. If you were to then navigate to a Sigma-10 page, such as the Front Page, it would likely appear broken.

Alternatively, if you know for sure that Sigma-10 is loading, the error is most likely mistakenly appearing because you switched the Sigma-10 theme to a different theme using the ThemePreviewer module or another similar feature. If this is the case, and you are the author of the page, add the following code to it to remove the warning:

[[module css]] #top-bar .ios-cache-issue-notification { display: none !important; } [[/module]]

Alright so, the Fundation has been around for a while now, and we classificate SCPs by numbers. So chronologically, which was the first SCP to be contained, and classified as an SCP? So each SCP was contained and designated a random number? Or they found 001 first, the 002, then 003 and so on? Did the Fundation started with a few of them? Or were they contained after the Fundation was created?

Some (but not all) of the 001 proposals can fit as the First SCP.

In reality, there's no canon. There's a shared headcanon of broad events, but specific details are fuzzy and open for interpretation.

There must be one with the absolute earliest containment date, given or implied, though.

I dunno.

I mean, you have The Spiral Path, The Factory, and The Foundation 001 Articles, all of which cannot have occured in the same universe as "the first SCP contained by the Foundation" simply due to the fact that all three have such different explanations of how the Foundation formed. Was it formed during the tail end of the 19th century as thinkers and scientists discovering anomalous things existed, late 1800's during Grant's Presiency, or the mid 1950's, when an anomaly overtook a school and started calling itself the Foundation?

After the obligatory "There is no canon" statement…

This or similar questions have come up before (and fairly recently, although I can't find the exact post). Basically, in one fairly common headcanon, the SCP Foundation has only been around since the late 1800's or early 1900's, and was formed out of many precursor organizations. I would imagine they implemented the new SCP-number system and indeed started re-numbering things with 1 (although 001 is a special case for site convenience/fun reasons).

(Granted, there's no reason why they wouldn't have had some more complex logic, like handing out certain blocks of number to different teams to get work going and prevent overlap.)

However, many of the things they were categorizing had already been contained for centuries. The Catholic church's abnormal wing was containing SCP-1732 since the year 324, and if the folks in SCP-557 were containing things for over a thousand years before that. I'm sure there are older ones, but those are the common examples I can think of.

173 was first created but in Cannon it would be the angel of the gate 001 (assuming that all 001's are cannon at the same time)

Please be mindful about the age of threads when you reply. This thread has been dead for three years, with the OP's question more-or-less answered.
