verb

On February 14, 2010, a new, very special tale came out, it was Revised Entry. This tale was the SCP-173 we all know and love, but longer and… different. The idea of the tale was to make another version of 173. And you know what? People loved it!
This tale came out more than 10 years ago, and now, authors of today are still making this type of "Reimagining" to articles they know and love. There are so many articles that a Hub for them is now possible! Isn't that neat?
What is a reimagined article: To put it simply, it's a remake of another work from the wiki. You liked the idea of an article, but what if something went differently? What if the anomaly now works differently? What if it's the same properties, but a different anomaly? Well, then you can just reinvent it in your own way. It's like a tribute-rewrite that won't replace the original article.
Check the multiple definitions of reimagination below for more info.
What isn't a reimagined article: Inspiration of another SCP is not necessarily a reimagination of it, it has to be somehow obvious what article it remakes.
Reimagined only applies to articles, so reimagination of characters, SCP lore without a proper "original article" and stuff like that do not belong into this Hub.
Articles that change only a little part of the original article are not to be considered reimagined1. Conversely, an article that modifies a large part of the original article but is only a small part of the reinvented article is still considered reimagined. A big part of the article has to be reimagined.
A reimagined article that belongs in the "Sequel-Esque" section and that is made by the same author as the original is not to be considered reimagined, since they would be directly considered as a literal sequel.
A reimagined article — especially SCP — is not an excuse for any behaviour of "I can do this better". The point of reimagining an article is not to do better than the original, it's for remaking it your own way. It should be a friendly intention, to make some sort of homage to the original article.

Sequel-esque Articles
Definition: Same article, but with something more. For example: what if the Foundation found something new in the anomalous properties? Maybe the article is now changed by the setting of a Canon? Or maybe the anomaly information is changed by the perception of a group of interests?
Parodies Articles
Definition: Article takes a humorous version of the original article.
