This website has some truly great stories. Where/how do I begin to understand this one?

Read on, I found I could figure out most of it on the go. I still don't understand this part, though: https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-2521/clearance...

Probably that the data contained therein is authorized for foundation members at O5 and O4 level

Earlier quoted context omitted.

For a time, I read through hundreds of them, but then I had a bad trip involving seeing a lot of imagery from them, and it rather soured me on reading more.

Yeah, if you're in the habit of taking such trips, I think I'd recommend considering very carefully whether you want to start reading through that wiki. There are some real-life, no fooling psychologically-hazardous things to read on there.

Any recommendations on those hazardous things?

This part is talking about who is allowed to view the materials. Level 4 and O5 are the top people of the foundation and the information is only allowed to be seen by them.

Could the person who made the entry write in abstract? Like what if I say: you shouldn't write or talk about beings that don't want to be written or talked about.

That Depends. There may be classes of infovores and memetic cognitohazards which are not triggered by information so general that it does not assert the actual existence of any given entity.

As I recall, in one of the antimemetic stories they can (with some intentional effort) remember and describe what it isn’t: “It isn’t... round.”

> SCP-2521 (also known as ●●|●●●●●|●●|●) is a Keter-level SCP not currently contained by the SCP Foundation. He is a creature who steals every piece of information about his nature, as long as the information is expressed in textual or verbal form. Because of that, nearly everything about him is registered by ideograms and pictures. from https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/SCP-2521

Well, whoever wrote that is fucked.

If you're new to SCP, I suggest starting with qntm's Antimemetics stories. They're well written and self-contained. You can read them for free online or buy the ebook: https://qntm.org/scp
