The S&T Wiki is now back![edit]

This is the old wiki, upgraded to MediaWiki 1.40. The old version was broken by a mandatory PHP upgrade conducted on the shared server where this is hosted. It needs updating to reflect the current officers and programme but at least when you visit it you don't get a slew of error messages.

I had some problems with spam accounts, so I've restricted account creation rather severely. You can always ask me to create an account for you.
