Template:InfoboxRitual

Renders the right-hand infobox card for a page about a religious, spiritual, or ceremonial ritual practice — as distinct from {{InfoboxPhenomenon}}, which covers a reported occurrence or claimed ability rather than a practiced response to one.

Note: requires the ParserFunctions extension for the conditionals.

Formatting note: the entire template body is written as one unbroken line, with no line breaks between rows — same rule as every other Vault infobox.
