= Welcome to the Guide Hub!
[[/size]]
@@@@
The Guide Hub is the centralized location for all of the official guides an author might need to navigate and contribute to the site, as well as the rules that all members of the SCP-Wiki Community agree to follow.

If you have an idea for an informational page that you'd like to see added to this page, please [[[http://05command.wikidot.com/contact-staff | contact a staff member]]]. The “[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/guide guide]” navigational tag should only assigned by staff, or with staff permission.

However, there is also an **[[[essay-resource-hub| Essay and Resource Hub]]]**. Community members are welcome to tag expressions of personal opinion or unofficial guides to different aspects of site contribution (writing, coding, artwork, etc.) with the “[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/essay essay]” navigational tag, and add them to that page. That page also contains interviews with community members, a history of the SCP Foundation community, and in-universe information about aspects of the SCP Foundation.
