This is just an example with lots of silly entries, and humor should be avoided in normal use.

This template should be added to all deity articles, as well as articles on beings of similar power like demigods, hero-deities, and archcelestials.

Saints do not typically have Divine Rank, and should use Template: Character if they are (or were) mortals.

This template should not be used for arch-fiends, demon lords, slaad lords, or archomentals, which are covered by Template:Archfiend and Template: Archomental.

Usage

For more complete tips on using this template, please see the general GLoG Writing Guidelines and Writing guidelines: Deities.

If any fields are left undefined they will not appear. The recommended image size is a width of 250px so that it will completely fill the infobox without increasing its size.

Add wikilinks in "home=" and "race=" to articles on listed homelands by putting the name of the place inside double brackets, [[like this]].

Do NOT add wiki links to alignments.
