Registering for an Account

You can register for an account here: Request an Account.

Please choose a log-in name and also give a brief description of yourself (minimum 10 words). This will send a request to an administrator to confirm your account. You will also be asked to confirm your email address.

When your account has been confirmed you will be emailed with a temporary password which you will be asked to change on your first time logging in. You may get the error:

Login Error: There seems to be a problem with your login session; 
this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. 
Please hit "back" and reload the page you came from, then try again.

In this case just use the login box below to log-in, and continue using the site as normal. This may also happen if you need to re-set your password.

Wiki Help

For help with editing this Wiki, the information on the MediaWiki Help Pages is probably the best place to start.

PDF Files

There is a template for use with pdf files, e.g.

{{pdf|Name_of_uploaded_pdf_file.pdf|Some Descriptive Text}}

So the formatting

{{pdf|NLA_NCAS_20091110-11.pdf|Chemistry in the Unified Model: Climate-Chemistry Studies with UKCA}}

would give

Chemistry in the Unified Model: Climate-Chemistry Studies with UKCA

LaTeX Math Formatting

LaTeX formatting is enabled, e.g.

<math>x^{2}\,\!</math>

Would give

$x^{2}\,\!$

For more help, please see WikiPedia's Help Page on Formulas. This page also describes the need for the \,\! syntax.
