== Template:CryptidInfobox ==
 
Renders the standard right-hand infobox for cryptid articles.
 
'''Note:''' Requires the ParserFunctions extension for the <code>{{#if:}}</code> conditionals. If ParserFunctions is unavailable, remove the <code>{{#if:...|...}}</code> wrappers and leave the row markup intact. Empty parameters will simply display blank values.
 
=== Usage ===
 
<pre>
{{CryptidInfobox
| name = Bigfoot
| image = Bigfoot_placeholder.jpg
| caption = Composite sketch based on eyewitness descriptions
| aka = Sasquatch, Skunk Ape (regional), Yeren (regional variant)
| classification = Ape-like hominid / hominin cryptid
| region = Pacific Northwest (United States and Canada); reports across North America
| first_reported = 19th century (modern media era begins 1958)
| status = Unconfirmed
}}
</pre>
