What about "Double-Ended, Angled Clip"?  :)

Hmmm.  That's along the lines of what I was looking for.  But now that I think about it, all the battle droid parts should
probably be together in the minifig category:
Minifig Droid Battle  (Complete Figure Shortcut)
Minifig Droid Battle Arm
Minifig Droid Battle Head
Minifig Droid Battle Legs
Minifig Droid Battle Torso

I agree here, at least partly because I doubt the battle droid parts
will ever be used outside of Star Wars sets.

How adding KEYWORDS and CATEGORY lines:

0 KEYWORDS clip
0 CATEGORY Minifig Droid

Partsref recognizes both of these meta-statements.

Good idea. Then r2 can go in as minifig droid R2 unit & say 3p0s head can go in under minifig droid 3po head.

Eek.  Now we're planning ahead?  How shocking! ;)

There'll be a problem with R2 parts, similar to the battle droid arm:
the R2 legs clearly belong in Minifig Droid.  But the plain versions of
the R2 head and body c/should go in the Cylinders category.

(...) That may be correct, but we may still see the use of individual parts not as battle droids. Like the UCE X-Wing Fighter, with R2D2 bodies in the blaster cannons on the wings.

(...) How about introducing a complete R2 shortcut? That should elliminate any confusion as to where the individual parts reside? Fredrik (24 years ago, 16-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
