Create template
There are some articles or sections that need improvements that are not covered by existing templates. The purpose of this template would be to allow users to flag articles or sections in need of a specific edit. Currently, most of such articles use the template, which is intended to be used for articles that are poorly written, not for articles that need other types of improvements. For example: articles that need a table, articles that need sections, articles that need a more specific topic, etc.

 This is in need of the following edit: . You can help the Super Mario Wiki by making it.

 * 1) I don't see the point of this template. If this specific article needs a certain edit, then actually make them. The reason we flag articles with rewrite and construction typically cover huge projects that users can't simply just drive in and change in one go. Hell, by the time you tag this template up in articles, you'd already be done making the edit the article needs. Anything bigger than what this template suggests is already covered by rewrite and construction, so its purpose is pretty void. Also you mentioned that rewrite templates "shouldn't" cover articles beyond poorly written, and I don't see why it should not, since that's how we always used that template when it needs more content. We additionally have "rewrite-expand" for that, or we can always list reasons for the rewrite template. Or there's the construction template if you're working on the project.
 * 2) We really need to consider that, , and  already exist to satisfy the need to get specific content in the article. Stubs are already confusing because some users, like myself, feel confused that stub means missing content, not short article, because the word " stub by" means short. I think we need to combine these three templates into one and call it , to follow Bulbapedia's example. Don't get me wrong, the template is a good idea, but not fully just yet. Needs more thought put into it.
 * 3) This proposed template is not needed. Per Baby Luigi.
 * 4) Per All
 * 5) The current templates (such as rewrite and rewrite-expand) can relay the necessary information on what needs to be edited well enough as long as it is specified what needs to be added. In other words, instead of just putting a rewrite template, one should write what needs to be fixed. I find it annoying when this is not done as just the rewrite template alone is often too vague to properly explain the article's issue.
 * 6) Per all
