WAAAGH!
Other way around for the tags, mate.
Still need More Dakka, and it's about time to start a real WAAAAAGH.

Fixed. Make sure you're entering the right data in each field when you make a TRS thread.
I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.
I see the Awesomeness.
I believe Sufficiently Advanced Aliens is when they're on the other end of Clark's Third Law (?) "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".
Fight smart, not fair.
Yeah, I don't see anywhere in the description saying it's about aliens posing as gods. It includes aliens that are functionally equivalent to gods, but that's not the same thing.
Perpetually Confused
There's also nothing about primitive society. Only society more primitive than the titular aliens. I am not sure I am seeing the OP's point.
Here is where the "Advanced aliens pass as gods to primitive societies."
Something really need some work, but it is not the main text.

Okay, back.

Thanks Deboss (that is an awesome name

Looks like we're done. Hollering for lock.
First key to interpreting a work: Things mean things.
It's said to be about 'advanced aliens that pass as gods to primitive societies', when it's more commonly used for the first part on this wiki. I suggest we make a sub-trope for advanced aliens passing as gods or move it into God Guise, and change the meaning of Sufficiently Advanced Alien into 'Advanced Aliens'.
