Any of those names are fine by me as long as the engines find them, I guess I
like BrickWiki (or WikiBricky, because it rhymes...) best... But I'm just a
gadfly.

*Many* parts have never been implemented. WRT to a wiki, probably this one part
from the mission:
2. To help people share information about LEGO products and LEGO-related
resources on the World Wide Web by setting in motion a community-driven
knowledge-base.

Hope that helps.
(I still think it's a good plan... I found this sentence particularly ironic:
"It is believed that there are large numbers of LEGO enthusiasts on the Internet
who currently know about RTL but avoid it because they feel it has become too
big, too hostile, too political, too commercial, or too ethnocentric." ...
change the date and change 'RTL' to 'LUGNET' and it's true again!...)
But don't worry about LUGNET and the Plan, worry about whether this is a good
idea and whether you can get the numbers of content creators you need to get it
off the ground.
Is this going to be an independent wiki, or affilated with wikimedia or ??
