== Template:CategoryInfobox ==
Renders the right-hand infobox card on a '''category page''' — same visual style as {{tl|CaseInfobox}}, used for individual case files, but with fields suited to a category (scope and parent rather than region and first report).
'''Note:''' requires the ParserFunctions extension for the <code>{{#if:}}</code> conditionals, same as CaseInfobox.
'''Usage:'''
<pre>
{{CategoryInfobox
|name=UFOs and Sightings
|scope=Aerial phenomena and sighting reports
|parent=All Files
}}
}}
</pre>
'''Category:Locations''' collects places associated with reported phenomena, historical mysteries, or investigations. This category splits into two independent branches:
Place this at the very top of a category page, before the descriptive text — it floats right and the text will wrap around it automatically.


=== Parameters ===
* '''[[:Category:Locations by Type|Locations by Type]]''' — classifies a place by the kind of subject it is (haunted, UFO-related, Fortean). Use when a place itself is what an article documents.
* '''name''' — required. The category's display name (also used to auto-count pages via <code>{{PAGESINCATEGORY:}}</code>)
* '''[[:Category:Locations by Geography|Locations by Geography]]''' — the archive's geographic browsing tree (country > state/region > town). Any article, regardless of its primary classification, can attach to a town-level category here alongside its own classification — a Case, an Entity, an Investigator's base of operations, and a Locations article can all share the same town tag.
* '''scope''' — recommended. A one-line description of what the category covers
* '''parent''' — optional. The category this one sits under, if any (rendered as a link)


'''Pages filed''' is generated automatically — no need to update it by hand.

Template loop detected: Template:InfoboxCategory Category:Locations collects places associated with reported phenomena, historical mysteries, or investigations. This category splits into two independent branches:

  • Locations by Type — classifies a place by the kind of subject it is (haunted, UFO-related, Fortean). Use when a place itself is what an article documents.
  • Locations by Geography — the archive's geographic browsing tree (country > state/region > town). Any article, regardless of its primary classification, can attach to a town-level category here alongside its own classification — a Case, an Entity, an Investigator's base of operations, and a Locations article can all share the same town tag.
