Alignment Template Use
I've always thought that the alignment grid template is best used when displaying a range of alignments, such as "cleric alignments". The single alignment of a character or a deity looks better shown only as text. What does everyone else think? --Ebakunin 02:56, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Interesting, I hadn't thought of it like that. I admit that I created the template to avoid the unsightly mess of text when listing multiple alignments, but then again I quite like the way it looks even when only 1 alignment is being shown. Anyone else? Fw190a8 06:31, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Deity vs Primordial template
There is nothing really special about the Primordial template, except that it generates the Category:Primordials. I would just use the full Deity template, add the category by hand, and explain in the text about the revelation of being a Primordial.

P.S., I could add a parameter to the Deity template, something like primoridal = yes, and generate the category and anything else folks might want about Primordial status in the infobox. Just another thought. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 00:27, January 10, 2017 (UTC)


 * I would make Primordial a pass-through to Deity, but it should definitely not exist as it does now. ~ Lhynard (talk) 07:45, January 10, 2017 (UTC)


 * Just agreeing: I would be happy with any solution that, in contrast to now, allows space for the 1st through 3rd edition information on the primordials-formerly-known-as-deities. Daranios (talk) 19:54, January 10, 2017 (UTC)


 * Ok, I'll fix up the templates when I get home tonight. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 19:58, January 10, 2017 (UTC)
 * Can you fix that "yes" in the template? It kills all the immersion of the article (see Bazim-Gorag for an example).--Zeromaru X 00:06, January 13, 2017 (UTC)


 * That was the simplest solution, but obviously not the best. I moved it into the same area where the deity status is located. Better? &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 01:24, January 13, 2017 (UTC)

So I noticed that both Primordial and Greater Deity is listed on this clearly only a Primordial being, obviously there must be some debate on the matter, but this makes me think...are Primordials on the same power level as Greater Deities? 71.91.189.84 17:58, November 30, 2017 (UTC)ForgottenRealmsEnthusiast
 * Primordials can vary on power much like deities do. According to Heroes of the Elemental Chaos, there are primordials not as powerful as a demigods (like Borem), while other primoridials are so powerful that greater deities had to band together in groups of three to five to defeat a single primordial in the Dawn War. Then, there is stuff like Entropy, who is a threat to the whole Faerunian pantheon on his own. According to Heroes of the Elemental Chaos, some primordials, such as Akadi or Asgorath, can attain divine status and happens to be that both are revered as Greater Deities... --Zero (talk) 18:38, November 30, 2017 (UTC)
