can someone please explain why there are heaps of set numbers in the name; I
thought the rule of thumb was generally to keep them to 3ish?

If set numbers need to go in the name and it appears in all those sets, then
they should all be present. Which ones should be left out?

The implication is that the Catalog title is being used to show usage relationship.
That is something that is more correctly done via the inventory (in both directions).

This may be an offshoot of how sticker sheets are related to a particular set.
IIRC, a sticker sheet generally only goes to one set (although there may be exceptions
to that rule).

Yes, I understand that. My point was that either they should all be listed, or
none. It would be worse to say that this stickered part is in sets A, B and C
in the title and not mention D, E, F and G if it also appears in those sets too.

It does look a bit excessive but it does mean all stickered parts show from those
sets when searching the set number.

There really are only a handful that long though so the odd long title here and
there isn't a common issue.
