Introduction
Creating a User Account
Visitors must create a user account in order to edit pages.
Go to Special:CreateAccount to create your account.
It is recommended to use your real name and list your contact information, industry affiliation, University, etc in your user profile.
Editing your preferences in your user account does NOT display this personal information to the site. Users should create and edit their Special:Mypage by following that link or by clicking their hyperlinked username in the top right corner.
Passwords should be 10 characters long. This is the default MediaWiki setting.
Email authentication is required to graduate to User status and contribute to the wiki.
