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)

{{quotation|Verifiability means other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of editors. Even if you are sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it. Maintain a neutral point of view and present what the various sources say.
