Revision as of 16:02, 10 October 2012
Before we've mainly used Bricklink's system... the major flaw in that though is that Bricklink assigns the same type of numbers to printed parts as it does stickered parts (example). I think we can all agree that stickered parts should not be given numbers or seperate entries, because:
Now obviously because this is the case it wouldn't make sense to continue using Bricklink's method of naming printed parts as several numbers would be missing. For example, we'd have:
And so leaving gaps in the database. Plus, as CJC said we should stop copying other sites' ways of naming and numbering things. I propose a new Brickipedia-exclusive method of naming printed parts: Simply adding an "-01" or "-02", etc suffix as the end of the mould number. This would result in:
They would be in chronological order, the part number with the lowest suffix would be the first printed variant of that part released, and the last one the latest. One thing I haven't thought about yet though is how to number official parts made up of several smaller parts of different colours and printing (Minifigure torsos and legs).

Implementation
Minifigure bits and bobsWhile I was in bed this morning groggily coming back to the real world, the solution to naming Minifigure parts hit me. While LEGO have the same Design ID for every minifigure torso, printed or not with two arms and two hands, and a unique Element ID for every variant of that part (though we don't want to use that), each variant has a different name. For example, Loki's torso is called "MINI UPPER PART NO.2042", Hawkeye's is "MINI UPPER PART NO. 2043" and Thor's is "MINI UPPER PART NO.2044". I'm pretty sure that all minifigure torsos have the same Design ID: 76382. So if we had pages for these three parts, they would be called "Part 76382-2042" and so on. The only problem is, if we decide to have all printed variants of a part on the same page, we will have a hell of a long page here. The same system would apply to minifigure heads and legs. Please discuss. - 10:46, October 9, 2012 (UTC) EDIT: After further research it seems that heads and legs don't follow the same rule as torsos, so I think what we might have to do is just have three really long pages for heads, torsos and legs. - 11:06, October 9, 2012 (UTC)
