They're way at the very end of the Wedge grouping, just before the Wheel
grouping starts.  They're listed as Wedge Plate 2 x 3 Left/Right.  The 2x4
versions are listed as Wings, and the double-wide versions of the same are
listed as Wedge 3x4 Plate (unnotched version only) and Wedge 4x4 Plate (notched
version only) respectively, so a group of pieces that should be relatively
clumped together is spread all over the Others/W section.

We are aware that this is unsatisfactory, and there is an ongoing effort by the
LDraw parts librarians to standardise thse names. Wedge plates will probably all
become Wings.
