|
| I have submitted changes to Minifig (njo086), wherein I have added the proper
capitalisation and punctuation to P.I.X.A.L.’s name - all of which have been
rejected.
While I understand that the name on the box is “Pixal”, her official bio
on the Ninjago section of LEGO.com has her name as “P.I.X.A.L.” (See images).
Additionally, searches for “Pixal”/“PIXAL” yield both her standard (“Pixal”)
and Samurai X variants (the latter of which has the proper capitalisation/punctuation)
- (See images). Thus, changing the capitalisation/punctuation of (njo086) causes
no search problems, is correct, is accurate to LEGO’s own character bio, and
is consistent with the names of the character’s other variants.
From my perspective, the only reason to retain the current spelling of
(njo086), is because this is what was on the box. If there is some other, possibly
more compelling, reason to retain the current spelling, please let me know.

If I were doing a search for her I would use the spelling on the box - it is
the quickest and the most simple. Plus, the bio you mentioned is not very easy
to find so most people are only going to know the minifigure as just plain Pixal.
As for a compelling reason not to change it to P.I.X.A.L.? If you do a search
on Lego.com for P.I.X.A.L. you don't even get get any relevant search results
related to her or Ninjago but if you do a search for just plain Pixal then you
get search results that apply.

As shown in the images above (the second two), a search for “Pixal” yields “P.I.X.A.L.”,
so there would not be any problem for those who search with the non-punctuated
spelling.

If Lego.com refers to her as Pixal on their website and on the set box and in
the set's description then I agree with BL not to change it. The punctuated
form of Pixal is only used by Lego.com in the bio you referred to which is not
even easy to find.
I understand your point and agree with it when looked at from more of a purist
point of view but not even Lego.com deems it important to refer to her using
the punctuated form of her name so again I think BL made the right decision.
