| | First, let me thank you all for your assistance with these projects. Thanks
to your hard work and discussion we have completed four projects within the last
month and three are ongoing:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2473
The seventh project consists of moving every 47th item in the Set item type to
the Gear item type. This is necessary because the Set item type just seems larger
than the Gear item type. When these items are moved, perhaps we can also give
them funny titles.
On a more serious note, this project actually consists of standardizing
whether set numbers appear in minifigure titles. Here are some examples of different
ways set numbers are included or not included in minifigure titles:
I realized that standardizing this would be as simple as a single sentence added
to the appropriate section of this page (which hasn't been updated since
2010):
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=179
But before we change anything, let us discuss. Do you want minifigure titles
to include set numbers? Do you find set numbers in minifigure titles useful
or can you live without them? Once we decide and get written policy in place,
then we only need to examine the titles of all the minifigures and adjust as
necessary. If we go with including set numbers, then the format would be this
(with the words Multiple Sets instead of individual set numbers for figures that
appear in more than one set):
Minifigure Name (Set 1000-1)
Minifigure Name (Multiple Sets)
If we go with not including set numbers, then we just need to remove existing
set numbers from titles. I don't have a preference either way on this one.
Thoughts?

I do like the idea of minifigs only ever included in 1 set showing up as unique
to a set. There are, however, minifigs that are unique to gear items and books
as well, so conceivably this would need to be done for all those as well. It
would be a bit of extra work to complete an inventory, as the name change would
have to be done in the case where a minifig is released as part of another set/book/gear.
Personally I do not think that it such a major issue to do a name change as part
of an inventory (I have done one of those, took about two minutes), so this should
not be a major objection.
As regards figs in more than one set, I should think that a simple policy should
just be that unique figs are identified with the set number, anything appearing
in more than one set/book/gear does not get anything tagged on to the name. That
way it becomes consistent in that either it is clearly identified as unique to
a set, or not unique.
