The new part, 32059, doesn't go with the other parts in the Wedge category.
All of the wedges feature at least one side which is angled across 1x3
studs. 32059 has sides angled across 1x2 studs.
There are several types of angle-sided plates in LDraw:
Boat Bow Plate
Plate ... Octagonal
Plate ... without Corner(s)
Wedge ... Plate
Wing
Out of all of these parts, I think 32059 is *most* similar to 2419, the
Plate 3 x 6 without Corners. My second choice would be to name 32059 as
Wing 6 x 4.

PS. On my computer, I've moved all bricks with angled sides to the Wedge
category, especially the 'facet bricks' and the Space Cabin Nose Base. All
angle-sided plates go in Wings.
