Writing an article about a deity

The term deity is used within PathfinderWiki to describe any sufficiently powerful being that is worshipped and followed by other creatures. Deities can usually provide their divine followers, such as clerics, with divine magic. This means the term deity, as a concept, would include gods as well as lesser beings such as demon lords, archdevils, etc.

Begin the article by using the {{Deity}} template. Visit that template page, and copy the text from the usage box. You can paste this at the beginning of your article and fill in the blanks. The template automatically knows only to display the information that you fill in, so if you leave any of the fields blank, they will not be displayed.

See the example template for Erastil on Help:Writing an article about a deity or the {{Deity}} template documentation. You might also want to refer to the policy on citing sources to provide references for the statements in your article.
