Lawful and chaotic is just for show. It's actually any type of good and evil, respectively. And neutral races are assumed to have individuals of any alignment, like humans.

I would suggest dropping Lawful And Chaotic from the names of the pages. It is bad thing to cause confusion "just for show".
I think the "Lawful" in "Always Lawful Good" is unfair. You can have some very heroic Chaotic Good people, like Drizzt Do'Urdan, Han Solo and Robin Hood, and Lovable Rogue's like Jack Sparrow. It's an unfair biase to say that Law is better than Chaos, when they are two sides of the same coin. Lawful Good may be the most selfless alignment, but it's also the least tolerant and the most vengeful of the good alignments. Neutral Good and Chaotic Good people are generally more tolerant of the rights of others, and aren't torn up over the "To Be Lawful or Good" debate.
I propose a change of the trope's name to "Always Good" instead. Or "Always Neutral Good", if we need a Character Alignment that badly (we don't anyway, due to the wiki's policy of no alignment examples), due to it being described as the "Nice Guy alignment". Or we could have "Racially Always Good", due to the trope being about a generally good race. We just need a different name. Check the discussion for the Always Chaotic Evil while you're at it, too. "Sounding cool" doesn't justify it.

There are pages for always LG and always CE. Why are there no pages for the other permutations?
