Unlike {{tl|VaultProfileBrief}}, it does not describe a person or organisation&#039;s relevance. It orients a reader to what the term or genre &#039;&#039;is&#039;&#039; and how The Vault uses it.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Formatting note:&#039;&#039;&#039; write the entire template body on one continuous line, with no line breaks between rows — consistent with {{tl|VaultProfileBrief}} and {{tl|VaultLocationBrief}}. Splitting rows across lines causes stray &lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; tags; blank fields left on their own lines leave visible gaps.<br /> <br /> == Usage ==<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> {{VaultConceptBrief<br /> |field=Folklore studies<br /> |origin=Coined in folklore scholarship by the late 1960s; popularized by Jan Harold Brunvand (1981)<br /> |scope=Parent category for individually documented legends on The Vault<br /> |summary=A genre of modern folklore consisting of widely circulated, often-unverified stories presented as factual, distinguished from myth, rumor, and hoax by consistent narrative structure.<br /> }}<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == Parameters ==<br /> === field ===<br /> The academic or research discipline the concept belongs to (e.g. &#039;&#039;Folklore studies&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Parapsychology&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;Ufology&#039;&#039;).<br /> <br /> === origin ===<br /> Where and by whom the term or concept was defined or popularized, if known.<br /> <br /> === scope ===<br /> How the concept relates to other Vault entries — e.g. whether it&#039;s a parent category for specific documented cases, a methodology applied across multiple entries, etc.<br /> <br /> === summary ===<br /> A neutral, one-to-two sentence definition. Should describe what the concept is and how it&#039;s studied, without taking a position on whether any specific instance of it is true.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Vault Templates]]<br /> &lt;/noinclude&gt;</div>
