In {{tl|cite journal}}, if 'url' is not defined and 'pmid' is then the title is linked using 'pmid'. Here 'pmid' is set without 'url' and 'title' includes a wikilink so the wikilink markup is exposed. 'coauthors' is used, and no COinS metadata is created for this field. 'title' ends with a period which is passed to the COinS metadata. 'postscript' is set to a period, which is redundant. 'journal' includes a shortened title which is not understandable to many readers.
