On the obscure parts locator page, https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2479
the link for the old x1307 Bionical 8 pin gear https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=x1307
is a broken link and should be changed to https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=50903

No that was me. It should be in Catalog Requests if people want us to perform
a certain task.

I will think about it. But you know, the first step would be to submit it to
the catalog.

I have changed this part number back. We are now trying to keep the original
part numbers as primary, exactly for reasons such as this:
 
Part No: x1307  Name: Bionicle Gear 8 Tooth with Rhotuka Spinner Rod 2.5L
* 
x1307 Bionicle Gear 8 Tooth with Rhotuka Spinner Rod 2.5L
Parts: BIONICLE

Parts: BIONICLE

It is understandable with most parts as they have old Design IDs and now come
with different alternate IDs, but there is a minority of parts like this one
that start with x* that Peeron used while unknown ID and bb* from BL, those would
benefit from being correctly designated in the LEGO® catalog.

These changes would affect just a few links here and there, maybe BL could update
redirect links to parts entries when it is an alternate ID in the URL query,
same for XML/io/bsx imports.

BTW... then someone needs to cancel 45 change requests I have pending...

Just my thoughts,
