Change: [g=4016g1] to 4016-3
Change: [g=4016g2] to 4016-4
Change: [g=4016g3] to 4016-5

I tried using the form, but got an error.

There is a change pending approval, but they used 4016-1 and 4016-2 which already
exist in the catalog.

I thought since the update Sets and Gears could share item numbers.

And I thought they could share the item number, but have a suffix added to them
like sets do.
I guess that part wasn’t really clear.

If Stellar is correct, then his numbering (replacing the g with a dash) would
be better.
But I see it as treating gear as sets and having the same numbering convention.

I would not want to repeat the "-1" and "-2" used for the sets, because that
would just cause another type of confusion. When you do a search for "4016" from
the top of the page now, you get the sets and the gear "sets" without needing
to add an asterisk or anything else. This was the desired result for this project,
so we are good.
