What's the deal with adding "Bar" to all the handled entries? for example:

Plate, Modified 1 x 1 Rounded with Bar Handle

Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Handle on Side with Closed Ends

Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Arm Up

There's 107 entries when you search for "Bar Handle". What's the point
of this? How many situations were there where there was a Door with handle and
people were confused if it was a stud handle or a bar handle or a thin handle.

not to mention that there are several that don't have the "bar" for example:

Dish 6 x 6 Inverted - No Studs with Handle with Wires and Red Panel Pattern

Brick, Modified 1 x 2 with Handle on End - Bar Flush with Edge of Handle

Bar Holder with Handle

Minifigure, Utensil Tool Saw with Handle and Tooth

I'm all for clearing up the inventory names. I feel moving a lot of the
brick, modified with round tops to slope was smart. But adding "bar" to handle
just seems like changing things for the sake of changing things. I don't
know how many of the sellers organize things, but for me, when there's a
sweeping change I have to remake labels, move parts, and adjust spreadsheets.
Heck, it's because of all that hassle that I really hope you don't change
it back.

These bar handle changes were all requested by member Stellar, who is better
able to answer your question. The requested changes were approved because the
handles are accurately described as a bar.

I requested these changes because it would be easier to find these kind of items
if this connection/modification had the same name in all parts.

I might have missed some items or pattern variants, those would be great to be
changed too.

Bar is a standard in Bricklink caltalog, same as hinge, plate, pin, etc.

You know that Pin works with Pin Hole.

And Clip works with Bar, but these Bar Handle items were missing the Bar connection
in its name. That's why I requested those changes.
