Here are some quick links to key pages in my user space:

• /Editing notes

Here are *all* the pages in my user space (this uses the "Special:PrefixIndex" template):

• Fix {{Article_resources}}
• Work on SANT domain (new page)
• See if we can't clean up articles on microRNA, siRNA, Trans-acting siRNA, etc., to be ruthlessly consistent on the definitions of these molecules.
• Redirect Public_identifier to Formal_Public_Identifier -- waiting to see if I get any response to my talk page comment (9/1/2012).
• Steal Mr. Stradivarius's menu box. It looks much nicer than the one I have now.
• Add PubMedHealth link to {{Infobox disease}}; see Hand, foot and mouth disease.
• Add MESH_mult to {{Infobox disease}}. See this comment on the talk page.
• Improve {{PMC}}. Right now it only allows linking to article numbers, not article instances.
• Investigate Dilberri's template filling tool mentioned in the docs for that template. It is supposed to generate a fully marked up citation from a PMC number, but the link is broken.
• Improve {{PubMed}}. It looks pretty lame.
• That template links to this citation template generator. How is it supposed to work?
• Are there any tools that take as input a PMCID or PMID and generate a fully-marked up <ref>?
• Infobox_disease template OMIM links now go to omim.org (see this discussion); but a lot of other templates are still linking to NCBI. For example, {{protein}}. These should be fixed. Find all the links to NCBI's OMIM site with this tool.
• Fix {{protein}} RefSeq links to go to NCBI's RefSeq. Right now they go to UCSC.
