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}}). Uses the same vault-infobox styling as CaseInfobox, just with rows suited to a phenomenon instead of a single incident.
Note: requires the ParserFunctions extension for the conditionals, same as CaseInfobox.
Formatting note: the entire template body is written as one unbroken line, with no line breaks between rows. Splitting rows across multiple lines causes MediaWiki to wrap them in stray <p> tags, breaking the layout; leaving line breaks between rows (even with each row correctly on one line) causes blank fields to leave visible gaps. Keep any future edits to this template on one continuous line.
Usage:
{{PhenomenonInfobox
|name=Precognition
|image=Example.jpg

|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.
