There's a lot of parts lumped into the Bionicle category - arms, legs, shields,
weapons, torsos, etc. There's also a fair amount of decorated parts, and
given how BL approaches bricks, slopes, tile, etc. that a decorated category
would be consistent with catalog entry. Thoughts?

There are 94 out of 437 items with the word pattern:

It would reduce the main category and make it a bit easier to find some parts

But I think there was a project to rearrange that category plus Large Figure
parts and Hero factory, those three share similar parts and you have to check
the three to find exactly where it is a part.

And there there are some parts that would fit better in other categories now
as they have been used for other things.
