Does this change their itemnumber like
To "cas999" or "gho999" whatever or will it just be the category which is changed?
This may mix up our sorting system otherwise.
As requested I didn't answer the original post.

Please clarify what you're saying here. What exactly would mix up your sorting
system and in what way?

I don't want to speak for novabrick, but it would mess up my sorting system
if the number where changed. If I had this minifig in a bag marked 'gen002'
and then got an order for minifig: 'cas999.' I would be looking for the
wrong item number to fill my order. That's why some of us are wary of changes
to part numbers, categories etc. Unless we regularly check our stock against
the Change Log, we only find out about things when an order is placed and we
go hunting for a part. It is understandable since the Catalog is a living breathing
thing, but it does cost some time. I need a little note or something to remind
myself:
Don't Look Twice, Check the Change Log First!
Hope that helps!

I understand. There is no need to change item numbers. Figures numbered gen***
exist in other categories (although not many):

Agree, it would mess up my existing sorting system as well. Once they are given
a classification number it shouldn't be changed.
One change I would like to see is that the minifigs that are "Marked for deletion"
would be greyed out on all pages.
CAS106 is an example.
It looks like it is an official minifig on this page https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?catType=M&catString=9.279
or this page
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=2&pg=1&catString=9.279&catType=M
If you look at the inventory page it looks like it is an official minifig
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?M=cas106
I wish they had an orange box or were greyed out or something to indicate that
they are marked from deletion rather than it only appearing on one page.
When I am building minifigs I will look at the category page
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=2&pg=1&catString=9.279&catType=M
and then click on the INV link from that page
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?M=cas106
to build the minifig. Neither page lets me know the minifig doesn't exist.

In some cases item numbers really should be changed - we just need a way to notify
sellers of item number changes. Since we don't have that, I'm going
to be careful about changing any item numbers.

Actually, I have suggested a stock image with the words MARKED FOR DELETION for
all items marked for deletion. This was not looked upon fondly because of concerns
that no one would know what the item was once the image was gone.
We have a backlog of 274 items marked for deletion right now, some dating as
far back as 2001 (that's the earliest one I saw). Clearly we need to be
doing better about getting rid of things once we've decided to do so. Limitations
in the system have hindered us in the past, but these limitations are scheduled
to be addressed.

I may not be able to do anything about greying out entries, but if you'd
like I can run through the list of items marked for deletion and put MARKED FOR
DELETION in the titles of all of them (see the figure above - I just retitled
it). Would that be helpful?

I like this idea and it would address my problems on every page.

There are over 1,400 open suggestions dating back to 2010. I sincerely doubt

I don't when it got implemented, but for items on that page marked for deletion,
I see a little bright light orange 'X' next to it. See first image.
I also don't know when this got implemented, but for items on that page marked
for deletion, I see boxes that are a dull yellow instead of gray. See second
image.
These are both wonderful additions to those pages. I wonder when they rolled
those out.
Cheers,
Randy

Turns out that I can see those X's and faded-yellow backgrounds because of
my Administrative privileges now. I really think those additions should be added
for everyone. I will see if I can bump this suggestion up the chain.

You already answered my question. I just wanted to make sure that the item numbers
don't change. Our minifigs are at the moment sorted by the initial letters
of the item number. (like one box oct*** one box cas*** etc...) and changing
item numbers would have making finding the right figure a bit harder.
Sorry if I brought up a bit of confusion as english isn't my first language
and I may have phrased it a bit complicated.
Thanks for the clarification
