Okay... can we switch up the page image, guys? Please? The My Little Pony thing was cute at first, but now it's just getting old.
This is what I do. Why I do it is up to you do figure out.
I added this to the description after where it says "this god is not evil":
"(or at least if it is, that's not the point)"
It seems to me this matches what the actual intent of the definition was from the start. There seems to be no logical reason why totally crazy evil gods would be excluded, even though there's a point in pointing out that this trope is about gods who can be dangerous without NEEDING to be evil.
Discord is the current page image as of this writing, and he's evil as hell (or the Abyss), but still seems like a perfectly good example. (As of this writing, his entry as an example is apparently written with the intention of downplaying his evil to fit the description as it was.) The Laconic description also doesn't exclude evil gods.
Nevertheless, I want to make a note here that I added this as an intended clarification in case there's a debate later on about what the definition was originally.
