So, what is the official policy for pieces with official Lego part numbers that
also have Bricklink numbers?

Such as:

bricklink: 98138pb023
Tile, Round 1 x 1 with Black Number 5 Coin Pattern

Lego: 17968
FLAT TILE 1X1, ROUND "NO.24"

Obviously the Lego description needs some work, but I would prefer to see the
Lego number when it is known. It facilitates checking shop.lego.com for new bricks.

You can submit the LEGO ID for that specific part as an alternate. As far as
I can tell 17968 is only used for that specific part and not for 1x1 round tiles
as a whole.
