DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.
Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Running Gag: Many items are supposedly chosen because they caused something bad to happen to Dickson. Rockers Smash Guitars: Since Tom couldn't fit the Guitar Hero guitar into the blender, he did a Pete Townshend on it.

Put a Face on the Company: Tom Dickson is the legitimate founder and CEO of Blendtec.

Made of Indestructium: The "Blend Tec Total Blender" has been shown blending things such as a Nokia 3310 and a Nintendo Wiimote. Loophole Abuse: Tom gets around dangerous warnings like "don't puncture or cut" with "well, it doesn't say don't blend!".
Hilarity Ensues: Dropping various non-food objects into the blender all for entertainment value as well as showing off the blender's power. Halloween Episode: The "Skeleton" Episode and "Tom's Hand". Foregone Conclusion: Most of the time, it will blend. Fakeout Opening: One video seems to start off by trying to blend a crowbar - until someone's phone goes off, so the phones get blended instead. Tom: You really don't wanna try this one at home.
