Until we have a working tag system it would be helpful if minifigure descriptions also included the species so that they can be located and identified in one place using this search criteria alone For instance many people will know this is a Wookiee, yet how many people will know the name let alone how to spell it correctly?   *  sw0626 (Inv) Wullffwarro Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Rebels I therefore think we should always try to include the species in brackets Wullffwarro (Wookiee)   *  sw0530 (Inv) Chief Tarfful Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 3 Chief Tarfful (Wookiee)   *  sw0328 (Inv) Wald Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 1 Wald (Rodian)   *  sw0241 (Inv) Onaconda Farr Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars The Clone Wars Onaconda Farr (Rodian)   *  sw0639 (Inv) Captain Tarpals Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 1 Captain Tarpals (Gungan)   *  lor079 (Inv) Thranduil Minifigures: The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings: The Hobbit Thranduil (Elf)   *  lor020 (Inv) Haldir Minifigures: The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings Haldir (Elf)   *  lor107 (Inv) Dain Ironfoot Minifigures: The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Dain Ironfoot (Dwarf)   *  lor025 (Inv) Lurtz Minifigures: The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings Lurtz (Uruk-Hai)   *  lor038 (Inv) Yazneg Minifigures: The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings: The Hobbit Yazneg (Orc) Besides we already appear to have done this for certain species like Ewoks:- https://www.bricklink.com/v2/search.page?q=ewok&type=M&tab=A#T=A

Wouldn’t help me as I don’t usually know their name or species, a few exceptions, but agree it would help many. :) In Catalog Requests, infinibrix writes: [...] (11 months ago, Jun 22, 2023, to Catalog Requests)

[...] Seconded for the Star Wars Minifigs, especially since many of the aliens are fairly obscure characters for casual fans. (11 months ago, Jun 22, 2023, to Catalog Requests)

[...] Watch this not happen, though, since the tag system is “coming soon”. 😐 (11 months ago, Jun 22, 2023, to Catalog Requests)

I think it is a good idea. Admin will like the idea better if someone is volunteering to make the change requests. In Catalog Requests, infinibrix writes: [...] (11 months ago, Jun 22, 2023, to Catalog Requests)

Re: Include Species in Minifigure descriptions! - ghyde (203)

[...] That would create problems for characters represented by minifigures like Yoda. In the Star Wars movies, his species has intentionally been kept unknown by George Lucas. [...] (11 months ago, Jun 22, 2023, to Catalog Requests)

[...] Yes, no... In your list Paploo isn't a specie, it's his name? (URL) So why? (Minifigure sw0067) And is separating species a modern concept, I mean, like in 2023??? [...] (11 months ago, Jun 22, 2023, to Catalog Requests)
