Wedge, Wing, or Plate

Loremonger

For the catalog names, do you prefer:

Wing
Wedge, Plate
Plate
Or something else?

For parts like this:

I would just suggest to adopt one of the existing nomenclatures, either LDraw's or Bricklink's, but not create a third one!

In LDraw, parts "without Corner" aren't called "Wings", but wedge plates of other shapes are. Part 6106 would be "Plate 6 x 6 without Corner".

I would put that in my Wing section.

Looks like LEGO calls them corner plates, so there is more than two already.

I like the simple names that don't try and include the category.

People coming from LEGO sites searching words instead of numbers, this where I would focus.

6x6 Corner Plate

Going with Ldraw, and I can understand those benefits, I would switch it to how I say it.

6 x 6 Plate Without Corner

Can categories have tags? That way "wedge" could have a tag of "wing" and "corner" and you wouldn't need to remember to tag each new part in that category.

No, but the wedge category has wing in brackets, and lego names (which may have corner in them) are searchable.

@Admin I was really asking what your preference was.

Right now, sort by category and then by name in alphabetical order. On orders with a lot of wedges, I find myself going back and forth between bins a lot because some are wings, some are wedges, and some are plates. So I just want to know what the best way to update the catalog is before sending through a lot of changes.

I don't know, some are wings, some are wedges, some are wedge plates, but I wouldn't name them plate with cut corner.
