Suggestion edit
And now that we've got the boilerplate out of the way (I posted it because some of the links really are good; I'm particularly fond of the "Ten Simple Rules"), let me suggest that you try out the other editing system. Open the Draft:Granulomatous-Lymphocytic Interstitial Lung Disease (GLILD), and look in the upper right corner of the blue toolbar for a black-and-white pencil icon. If you click that, it'll switch to the visual editor, which works much more like a regular word processor. Its "Cite" button will do everything for you; just paste a PubMed URL or doi number into the automatic tab, and it'll fill it all in. It may save you some time and hassle. If you don't like it, then the "[[ ]]" button next to the Save button will take you back to the classic wikitext editor.

- Hey, I changed the citation format to use the most popular system. I figured that's probably what you would prefer. But if I guessed wrong, that's okay – just click the 'undo' button in the upper right of this page, and it'll all go back to how to was before.
(Assuming that nobody edits the page between now and then. If you want to revert it and you get an error message, then just click the "Add topic" button at the top of my talk page, and tell me to undo it for you. :-) WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:41, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
