==Introduction to the Natural History, Complications and Prognosis Page==
* The page name should be '''"(Disease name) natural history, complications and prognosis"''', with only the first letter of the title capitalized.
* '''Goal:''' To provide information on the natural progression of the disease without treatment, complications that occur as a result of the disease and its treatment, and the anticipated and actual outcomes of treatment. 
* As with all microchapter pages linking 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 to follow the same format and capitalization of letters  as outlined in the template below.
*Remember this is not the section to put the history of the disease in time. This would be detailed in the historical perspective section.
*Remember this is not the section to put the history of the patient. This would be detailed in the diagnosis section, under history.
* You should include 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 entire page in several sentences. This section can be the same as the natural history, complications and prognosis segment on the overview page.
* To see an example, click [[Pericarditis natural history#Overview|here]].
