After thinking about it, and as I get ready to work on the wikidot sooner or later, for you all here's tips for writing in anchorridge.
Anchorridge takes a very vanguard like tone, albeit also familial relationships within sites. They're hopeful, even in spite of everything.
At their best, They're a driving force for advancement, change and hope. At their worst, they're stubborn, bearucratic, and cold.
Anchorridge will always attempt to reason, employ, work with, and or find ethical means to anomalous entity interaction, however. If they must contain, they will, and will do so the best they ethically or reasonably have to. This is NOT an excuse to go off the rails writing murder-monsters like 682 who are forced into permanent containment.
Anchorridge, in the last resort will destroy anomalous items, entities, ETC.
Their three methods.
Reason, employ, work with.
Ethically contain, or contain to best of skill.
Destroy, erase and annihilate.
Anchorridge always seeks to work with other organizations where possible, however they will fight if needed, albeit they cannot fight like the foundation or GOC, they are limited, make the strike-teams reasonably skilled, and retreat when they need to.
Anchorridge internal documents are structured clinically. Very much foundation like, and use several subclasses for identification.
For an anomalous item, ie mug, fork, Playstation, etc. It will be
ANR-AI-XXXX
For an artefact, or something too old to classify as an item, or of archeological significance.
ANR-AA-XXXX
I believe you have the format, I'll be going faster with abbreviation expansions.
AT Anomalous technology, PT is also acceptable, for paratechnology.
AAO - Anomalous animalia organism.
APO - Anomalous plantae organism.
AFO - Anomalous fungi organism. Etc.
TR - Thamaturgic ritual

MM - Memetic, a unit of information that has harmful or other effects when viewed, heard, smelled, tasted, touched, or otherwise put through a sensory process, Memetic agents vary from harmless to lethal.
IH - Infohazard, hazardous information, similar but not identical to a meme, usually hazardous on its own.
AM - Antimeme the antithesis of information, information that is hard, if not near impossible to remember without the aid of drugs.
If you are introducing a new subclassification, it's best to leave a meta note in the comments explaining its definition, and to check to see if it overlaps with a well defined definition pre-added.
Additional classifications.
NO - Noosphere, an anomalous concept of the noosphere, the collective of a sentient species's thought.
OI - Oneroi, the collective of all dreams and the subconscious, connected but not the same as the noosphere.

TDE - Theological divine entity - Colliqually, a God. See - Cedar everwood, Para de spookiez, Rose de spookiez, and the other gods we employ, Usually require akiva energy and ideological feeding to sustain themselves, however. There are exceptions.
ADDITIONS - EDIT ONE
Anchorridge eigenweapons are RARE and EXPENSIVE, anchorridge tends to use them as a last resort, and tend to leave permanent damage to an area, and are usually overkill in damage and naming conventions, it's a superweapon, go balls wild as-long as it fits your canon.
Anchorridge conventional weapons make sense in a paranormal reality, while not identical to conventional weapons, would reasonably work. And are easily modified, same for the armor, they're designed so no two suits are perfectly identical, while a pain to repair, it makes it very hard to pin down anchorridge to one style.
Ie, A six hundred pound draw bow that fires solid steel arrows tipped with uranium, while the materials would be very hard to make, it's believable, An assault rifle that has an impossibly light frame and magazine? Also within the realm of anomalous science, A railgun? That works.
There is also AT class weapons and armor, think, War-droids, Giant mechs, weaponized fusion? Power-armor? That is AT class, far more expensive however similarly powerful, do not employ these without good in-canon reason, ie a God is attempting to take over the world.
ADDITION TWO
Unless you are specifically using the more messy original TUMBLR Canon, refrain from using organizations such as the GOC, Foundation, Etc, unless they fit well into your canon, I don't think it would be great if we blended too much with other anomalous heavy media, like I have originally, and I really want remixes, remakes of organizations with new original ideas.
HOWEVER, depending on the word of @sevcon-iii 's moderator, Sevcon may be applicable. Albeit I don't want to just shoehorn them in unreasonably, however I do have some rules from sevcon.
Quote from discord minus irrelevant details.
"The only two requirements outside is: Katie existed at some point, and Sevcon was formed in 1986 at some point.
Outside of that, it's up to modification. (At least in this current revision SVCN2.0) "
" Sevcon could have dissolved days after it's founding, or existed until the end of time. Katie could have died right after founding or surviving for millions of years. As long as they both existed. "
General ideas for what is in an anchorridge canon unless explicitly stated otherwise.
There is a grand masquerade of normalacy over the anomalous, and magic.
There are organizations or entities working to enforce this masquerade by any means.
If anchorridge exists, or an equivalent group will be fighting to break this masquerade, and may have help.
The masquerade can be from the beginning, or brand spanking new.
