I might have missed something about this, but are there going to be movements
in the 6 main item types on 1 October as well?

So are there gear items moving to sets?
Are there animals moving to the figures category?
Are there printed parts moving to the figures category?
Is the minifigure main type being renamed to figures?

Or is that catalogue project still going to remain open?

Only the items shown on this page are moving:

  So are there gear items moving to sets?

No, none.

  Are there animals moving to the figures category?

No, none of these, either.

  Are there printed parts moving to the figures category?

No, nothing going on here.

  Is the minifigure main type being renamed to figures?

No, but it needs to be. The site must do this - we don't have the ability.

  Or is that catalogue project still going to remain open?

Creating written category definitions (which you greatly helped with - thanks!)
and opening discussion regarding the possibility of item movements revealed that
many items could be better categorized.

This will likely be an occasional ongoing thing until we get catalog entries
sorted according to the newly-written guidelines.
