Because no one ever wondered why it didn't include the word curved?

Would you like it to include the word "curved"?

I'm pretty sure it's because there is no non-curved version of this part.
Also, many part in this category are curved but have no curve in the title.

This seems more like something we would use a tag for.

After further investigation, there are only a few wedges that use the term "curved".
There are way more wedges that are curved that do not use the word "curved".

In my opinion, the term should only be used to differentiate a "non-curved" version
of a wedge from a "curved" version when the wedges have the exact same dimensions,
such as
 
Part No: 43713  Name: Wedge 6 x 4 Triple Inverted Curved
* 
43713 Wedge 6 x 4 Triple Inverted Curved
Parts: Wedge
and
 
Part No: 4856b  Name: Wedge 6 x 4 Triple Inverted with Connections between 4 Studs
* 
4856b Wedge 6 x 4 Triple Inverted with Connections between 4 Studs
Parts: Wedge

Otherwise, a lot of other wedges should be renamed to be consistent. In fact,
to make the names consistent in either direction is going to create a good bit
of work due to all of the decorated versions of either set of parts needing to
be renamed (seven alone for the 11291 parts).

I will discuss this further with the team and we will decide on a direction to
go in.

Cheers,
Randy

Although this would be better served by a tag, I have decided to add it to the
name for convenience. We may never have a tag system, so this is the best we
have.

I have also decided to only change this one part instead of standardize all wedges
as having a curve or not. I do not see the time required for such a task to be
worth the effort.

Cheers,
Randy
