Template:Referenced rewrite needed/doc

Marks an article as requiring a rewrite to remove or rephrase speculation and add/confirm relevant references. Adds article to Category:Reference rewrite.

Details
This template is designed to alert editors of articles requiring the addition of verifiable, accurate, and relevant references, or to remove speculation and/or characteristics not supported by sources. The overarching goal is not to remove information outright, but a focus on:
 * rewording claims so that they align with applicable references (what we are claiming must align exactly with the content of the reference, no extrapolating or embellishing)
 * ensure each new claim is referenced appropriately with a verifiable source (another editor must be able to check the source text to confirm)
 * checking that all references are relevant to the claim and formatted correctly based on the source type (the reference must be supporting the claim directly in a succinct way and must be labeled appropriately if it is a non-canon source)

Complementary templates

 * Use Citation needed template if one cannot find a reference to support claim or reference is not relevant to claim.
 * Use Clarify template if the citation or information is too vague or otherwise presenting a challenge to be able to seek references to cite.
 * Use Cleanup template if the section requires a more substantial overhaul than a short section or reference verification.
 * Use Missing data template for information that is data-specific, such as infoboxes or crafting, as opposed to references and rewriting.
 * Use Verify template for information requiring verification specifiic to bugs, location of items, in-game details, or dialogue files.
 * Use Section needed template if an entire section is missing from an article.
