	Sometimes the foundations are so rotten and bad that the only good and constructive action is demolishing everything and starting from scratch. In other words, rewrite this article. It's in such a bad state that you may ignore all of its current contents if you like. But be bold! DO IT!!!

Example: {{Rewrite|hard}} - strong rewrite (steamroller).

[edit] Usage 3: character parameter

You can use the "character" parameter to choose a thematic option. Character rewrites are considered the same as medium rewrite for weight purposes.
