Evidence evaluation panel for pages involving:
 
* Paranormal claims
Creates a full-width evidence assessment panel for Vault articles.
* Historical cases
 
* Research findings
The template provides a neutral overview of the quality and quantity of available evidence relating to a paranormal subject.
* Unverified phenomena
 
* Documented mysteries
It should be used below {{tl|VaultAssessment}} and above the main article text where appropriate.
The template provides a summary assessment of the available evidence and automatically links readers to [[TheVault:Evidence Rating System]], which explains how evidence ratings are assigned.
 
=== Usage ===
The scale does '''not''' indicate whether a phenomenon is real or fictional. It represents the current strength of available evidence.
