This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-2712.
Why did they ignore him? Did nobody notice the 2717 slot? Was he the victim of compartmentalization?
Bottom of the page, click "+Options" then click "Page Source"
I used developer tools to read it, it was more difficult, but I found it. I didn't know how to view the page source.
-Morkle
- Scroll to the bottom of the page where there are links started with "Edit"
- One of these is "+Options"; click that.
- One of the new links that appears is "Page Source"; Click that
- Now you can scroll down and read the page source.
I love the use of the source code to drive the story! Brilliant! +1
Is this because MacLeod had the idea for that ending or he has something in the works/already out that is a… Something in the system?
Edit: also, +1, I enjoyed it.
/me blows into tissue
Go on! Take it! Take my upvote!
I really missed seeing those black box with something actually written on them and the 0% thing (hope you don't mind me using the code later on). IMO they add a special touch to the article.
Also, I wonder if SCP-000 will be making an appearance.
Reluctant downvote on a pet peeve issue. If I have to jump through hoops (copy/paste the article into notepad or read the source) to get the whole story, it annoys me significantly.
That said, it works here - I just can't get behind it.
I upvoted before I knew about the notes in the source. I don't like it either, but it seems petty to downvote based on something that I didn't even need to know about.
I don't see how a reader is supposed to know it is there, or what it is supposed to represent in-universe (I seriously doubt that the Foundation uses a wiki internally).
I kinda feel like I need to expand on my comment…
It's not so much the source code gimmick as the fact that you wouldn't know it's there unless you habitually check page source or copy out articles into notepad (or read comments). If there were a clue in the article, my opinion might be different.
I think what I was trying to say was more "jump through hoops I didn't know were there to get the whole story…"
I'm no-voting on this basis. I've enjoyed some size-zero trickery in the past, but that was little creepy bites of flavor (like in ███.) This just seems like good parts of the article that are hidden for no reason.
There's size-zero text there? I can't find it o_O
Wavering no-vote changed to cheerful upvote on reading the source code. Clever, bittersweet, nifty.
Tiny tiny niggle, could someone please change 'rouge' to 'rogue'? It's just a personal bugbear, but I'm so grotesquely untechy that I'll probably brick the whole article somehow if I try.
