Naming Guidelines


Below are some guidelines, which are useful when renaming or providing decoration descriptions for items within the catalog

 

  • Use natural english
    • Brick, Modified, 2 x 2, Clip ❌
    • Brick 2 x 2 with Clip ✅
  • Use a similar structure within the category
    • Short Hair with Bow ✅
    • Long Hair with Braid ✅
    • Hair Long with Bow ❌
    • Bow Hair Long ❌
  • Leave spaces between stud sizes
    • Brick 2x2 ❌
    • Brick 2 x 2 ✅
  • Use short names
    • Torso Jacket, 3 Medium Azure Zippers Pattern / Bright Green Arms / Dark Turquoise Hands ❌
    • Minifigure Torso with Jacket with Zippers ✅
  • Use capitalisation on important words
    • brick 2 x 2 with clip ❌
    • Brick 2 x 2 with Clip ✅
  • For undecorated items, do not name it after the figure/set it comes from. We have lots of names based on the minifigures they come from, these are usually default computer generated names.
    • James Hair ❌
    • Hair with Curls ✅
  • Minifigures should be named using the structure [Name/Purpose] with [Differentiator]
    • The differentiator is decided by looking at other items in the category, and seeing what is different about the figures. So for example, their hair, the legs, the top.
    • The differentiator should be the most obvious difference. Don't point out a difference in the colour of the eyes, if, for example, one person is wearing a scarf or a life jacket.
    • The differentiator should be as short as possible. Instead of "Crash Helmet" use "Helmet". Instead of "Dark Stone Gray Breathing Hose for Yellow Air Tanks" use "Air Tanks".
