==Introduction to the Causes Page==
*The page name should be '''"(Disease name) causes"''', with only the first letter of the title capitalized.
* '''Goal:''' To provide a comprehensive list of all potential underlying causes of the condition. To categorize the causes both by organ system and alphabetically, so it is an easily searchable source for a medical professional.
*Remember causes are different from risk factors. For example, HIV causes AIDS, and the bacteria ''Bartonella henselae'' is the cause of cat scratch disease. In contrast, elevated cholesterol is termed a risk factor, but is not the cause of coronary heart disease, childhood obesity is a risk factor, but not the cause of diabetes.
* Search The Diseases Database (http://diseasesdatabase.com/content.asp) to assure that the list is complete.
* As with all microchapter pages liking to the main page, at the top of the edit box put <nowiki>{{CMG}}</nowiki>, your name template, and the microchapter navigation template you created at the beginning.
* Remember to create links within Wikidoc by placing <nowiki>[[square brackets]]</nowiki> around key words which you want to link to other pages. Make sure you makes your links as specific as possible. For example if a sentence contained the phrase anterior spinal artery syndrome, the link should be to [[anterior spinal artery syndrome]] not [[anterior]] or [[artery]] or [[syndrome]].  For more information on how to create links click [[Help:Links|here]].
* Remember this is not the chapter to describe what the disease causes. What the disease causes would go under the natural history and complications chapter.
* Remember this is not the chapter where guidance is provided on how to distinguish the disorder from other disorders. That is the chapter on differentiating (disease name)from other diseases.
* Remember to follow the same format and capitalization of letters  as outlined in the template below.
* You should put the name of the disease in the first sentence of every subsection.
 
==Overview==
* The overview section should include the disease name in the first sentence.
* The goal is to summarize the page several sentences, and the section can be the same as the causes segment on the overview page.
* To see an example, click [[Pericarditis causes#Overview|here]].
 
==Causes==
 
===Common Causes===
* This section is to outline the most common causes of the disease or condition you are describing.
* This can be done in list form, with the appropriate percentage listed next to the cause. Click [[Pericarditis causes#Common Causes of Pericarditis|here]] for a common causes section in the Pericarditis causes page.
 
===Causes by Organ System===
* To obtain the coding for the table seen below, click [[Differential diagnosis by organ system table|here]]. You need to copy the table content from the edit box, and paste it into the edit box.
* You can then list the causes by organ system. List the causes, separated by a comma under the appropriate category where it says "No underlying causes". Erase "No underlying causes" if you are listing causes in that category.
* For an example of the causes by organ system table in a causes microchapter, click [[Jaundice causes#Causes by Organ System|here]].
