Template:BookInfobox
Renders the right-hand infobox card for books and published works. Used for:
- Paranormal research books
- Historical texts
- Investigator memoirs
- Fictional works with relevance to The Vault
- Important publications within paranormal studies
Note: requires the ParserFunctions extension for the conditionals.
Important formatting note: every row must be written entirely on a single line within its block — do not split a <div>/<span> row across multiple lines. MediaWiki's parser will auto-wrap multi-line HTML blocks in stray <p> tags, which silently breaks the row's CSS class structure and the two-column grid layout it depends on. This previously broke the infobox's layout on live pages; keep every row on one line to avoid a repeat.
Usage:
{{BookInfobox
|title=Extra-Sensory Perception
|author=J. B. Rhine
|publisher=Boston Society for Psychic Research
|published=1934

|type=Research publication
|genre=Parapsychology
|subject=Extrasensory perception and psychic phenomena

}}
Place this at the very top of the page before the article text.
