Template:PhenomenonInfobox
Renders the right-hand infobox card on a general phenomenon or ability page — one that describes a type of reported experience rather than a single case ({{CaseInfobox}}) or a structural category ({{CategoryInfobox}}).
Note: requires the ParserFunctions extension for the <code></code> conditionals, same as CaseInfobox and CategoryInfobox.
Usage:
{{PhenomenonInfobox
|name=Precognition
|type=Psychic ability / cognitive claim
|field=Parapsychology
|also_known_as=Premonition, second sight
|notable_case=Aberfan disaster and the British Premonitions Bureau
|status=Unverified
}}
Place this at the very top of the page, before the article text — it floats right and the text wraps around it automatically.
Parameters
- name — optional. Defaults to the page title if omitted
- type — recommended. What kind of phenomenon this is
- field — recommended. The area of study most associated with it (e.g. Parapsychology, Psychology, Folklore)
- also_known_as — optional. Alternate names or near-synonyms
- notable_case — optional. The best-documented or most-cited real-world case associated with the phenomenon
- status — recommended. e.g. Unverified, Disputed, Studied, Debunked — The Vault's editorial stance is neutral, so this reflects scientific consensus rather than belief
</nowiki> at the bottom of the template's own page — same single-page pattern already used by {{CategoryInfobox}} and the others, just standardised instead of freehand wikitext each time.
Usage:
<noinclude>
{{Documentation|
== Template:ExampleTemplate ==
One-line description of what the template renders and where it goes.
'''Usage:'''
<pre>
{{ExampleTemplate
|param1=value
|param2=value
}}
</pre>
=== Parameters ===
* '''param1''' — required. What it controls
* '''param2''' — optional. What it controls
}}
</noinclude>
Everything after the pipe — headings, prose, nested <pre> blocks, {{[[Template:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]}} links — is just ordinary wikitext and gets dropped straight into the box.
Parameters
- 1 (unnamed) or content — the documentation body itself
- category — optional. Overrides the default filing category, if a template shouldn't sit in Vault Templates for some reason
Auto-adds [[Category:Vault Templates]] (or your override) — no need to tag it separately at the bottom of the template page anymore.
