EXAMPLE
The quotient (252+1)/11 = 23 is a swinging Wilson quotient and a prime, so 23 is a member.
MAPLE
A163211 := n -> select(isprime, A163210(n));
MATHEMATICA
sf[n_] := n!/Quotient[n, 2]!^2; a[n_] := (p = Prime[n]; (sf[p - 1] + (-1)^Floor[(p + 2)/2])/p); Select[PrimeQ][Table[a[n], {n, 1, 100}]] (* G. C. Greubel, Dec 10 2016 *)
PROG
(PARI) sf(n)=n!/(n\2)!^2
