Template:VaultAssessment
Creates a full-width assessment panel for Vault articles.
The Vault Assessment is designed to provide a quick summary of the current research status of a paranormal subject without presenting a conclusion on whether a claim is true or false.
It should be used below the main infobox and above the article introduction.
The template uses colour coding based on subject type:
- cryptid — Cryptids and cryptozoological subjects
- ufo — UFO / UAP cases
- haunting — Ghosts, hauntings and poltergeist cases
- parapsychology — ESP, psychic abilities and related research
- forteana — General anomalous phenomena
- folklore — Legends, mythology and traditional beliefs
