| Project number 8 from the Catalog Roadmap: Torso and Leg Assemblies Categories
Split
This has now been completed 
The legs categories have just been done so although they show up in the main
list of categories they will not show as a separate category in storefronts until
the daily maintenance later.
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogTree.asp?itemType=P
The torsos were completed a few days ago so are already showing up correctly
in stores.
Hopefully that will make it easier for yoy when browsing the categories or looking
for non decorated parts when searching or listing parts for sale.

| Good to know, I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out why my printed legs
were showing up in my searches but not in my store separately. I'll check
back tomorrow.

Is it intentional that this one is still in the "plain" category?

This is much better, thank you. In fact as already mentioned in a previous post
I would go as far as to breakdown even more minifig parts into their own category?
However the only thing I would say is that some of these category names in the
store front are becoming so long that it initially looks like duplicate categories
for the same thing what with the end cut off especially to a novice.
I mentioned previously about giving Minifigure Parts their own section/heading
so they don’t need to have the word ‘Minifigure’ repeated in front of every category
but if they are to remain under the parts category maybe consider shortening
Minifigure to Minifig but also is there any reason that some of these categories
can’t be altered with similar examples to below?:-
‘Minifig Legs’ instead of ‘Minifigure Legs Assembly’
‘Minfig Legs Decorated’ instead of ‘Minifigure Legs Assembly Decorated’
‘Minfig Legs Loose’
‘Minifig Hips’
‘Minifig Torso’ instead of ‘Minifigure Torso Assembly’
‘Minifig Torso Decorated’ instead of ‘Minifigure Torso Assembly Decorated’
‘Minifig Torso Armless’
‘Minifig Arms’
‘Minifig Hands’
Or would doing this sort of thing mess up the categories in other ways with regards
to the category breakdown of Torsos etc?

The word minifig has been removed from the catalog altogether so will not be
making a return but I do agree that the categories in store are not ideal when
they have longer names.
Category trees have been discussed, for example here:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1168807
But whether anything will come of that idea I don't currently know.
