SCP-2000

SCP-2000 is the first article in Series III, winner of the 2000 contest, and generally considered a historical landmark among SCP Articles. SCP-2000 is a Thaumiel class object written by HammerMaiden for the 2000 contest, possibly based on Dr Gears's Document Recovered From The Marianas Trench tale, and is primarily responsible for the rise of Thaumiel from an esoteric/narrative object class to a standard object class. SCP-2000 concerns an underground Foundation facility capable of hard resetting the universe in the event of XK-class scenarios.

Background
SCP-2000 holds a unique place among current extant SCPs in that it facilitated the shift in tone of SCP stories. Prior to 2000's existence, and subsequent winning of the 2000 contest, SCPs were rather limited in scope. Despite having a "there is no canon" policy, the main site had no way to counter end of the world/end of human dominance/reality reshaping/etc. scenarios, now called XK-class scenarios. This lack of methods to deal with such scenarios limited SCP articles and 001 proposals
