| The first major catalog project is now underway. This first project consists
of retitling certain minifigure heads and there are instructions on the Catalog
Roadmap for how to help get it finished:
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2473
My goal for completing this thing is one week and I would appreciate any assistance.
To avoid duplication of effort, please use this forum thread to coordinate your
efforts as necessary.
Why don't I just go in and retitle every affected head myself? Because it
is roughly the same amount of work for me to retitle a part as it would be for
a member to submit a catalog change request to retitle a part. I am only one
person with a full-time job outside of BrickLink and I simply don't have
that much time.
When you submit a catalog change request, all I have to do is read through a
list and make sure you've gotten it right. Then I click a checkbox for each
requested change and approve them. Alternatively, once I see that all the requested
changes are correct I can mass-approve them without checking the boxes. The
attached image shows you what I see when you submit change requests.
I know many of you want changes to the catalog and if those changes happen, then
we're all going to have to share the work. The open catalog changes requests
queue is pretty much cleared out and ready for action. So inundate me with change
requests for C-type heads and let's get something done!
Thank you all for your suggestions for changes and the assistance you provide
in making them actually happen.

While this is in process, do you think it would be okay for either of the following?
Retitle all heads with print on both sides "dual-sided" even if it is not a face
on both sides?
Make a new category specifically for dual-sided heads?

I don't want to mix projects. Both of the things you mention are in your
pending projects and I think both of them will probably happen. However, let's
just focus on one thing at a time to keep things simple.

| Hello I've started:
I searched for "Stud Recessed", ordered by Item name and went to page 7. I have
run across one head titled Recessed Stud instead of Stud Recessed. Does the same
apply?
Thanks,
Tyson.

Yes. It can be assumed to be an error instead of intentional. Member mfav has
pointed out that some of these actually are recessed when compared to others,
but that is not an issue we're going to get into right now.
