Wikipedia's community maintained article on Loki gathers, with citations, his role in the Poetic and Prose Eddas as a shape shifting trickster among the Aesir, his part in the deaths of Baldr and his eventual binding until Ragnarok, and the range of scholarly readings of his ambiguous status. Its strength is breadth across primary Eddic sources and later reception; a contested reading of a specific stanza or manuscript variant should be checked against dedicated Old Norse scholarship rather than resting on this page alone.
