I noticed some inconsistancy in the naming of some of the wedge parts. Some are
named with the smaller number first, and others are named with the numbers
placed to match the numbers used on bricks based on the X and Z axes.
For example, 41765 is named Wedge 2 x 6 Double Inverted Left. So the small
number is placed first (like on bricks), but since it's rotated 90 degrees about
Y relative to the bricks, I don't know if this is correct.
6153 is an example of the other naming, and is named Wedge 6 x 4. Here, the
name reflects the fact that it is rotated 90 degrees relative to bricks with
respect to its long axis.
Then we have parts 43712 and 43713, which are both currently on the tracker.
43712 uses the 4x6 naming scheme, and 43713 uses the 6x4 naming scheme. Since
they are complementary parts, their names really need to match. So which naming
scheme is correct?
