I think everything with "Technic Bionicle ..." should be retitled "Constraction ..." with "Bionicle" added as a KEYWORD.

Technic Bionicle vs. Constraction

As I recently reviewed such a part, I wondered, if this should be done or not.
I'm not sure how many official Bionicle we have, but I like the suggestion.
Go for it!
I don't think a simple change like that is good. We need to have a more specific approach, part by part.
I see a badly named minifig body in the list, among other parts, that would only end up in another bad place.
I remember an image, can't find it now, describing the idea behind these figures.
On the basic level there's body/skelleton parts, like torso, leg, arm, foot, hand, ...
Next is a layer of shields and armoured body parts.
Next is a layer of decorations like spikes, pins, emblems, attached on the body of the figure.
Then, all the accessories and weapons.
We have both Constraction and Constraction Accessory in the list of categories to use here.
But many of them would be better named as Constraction, than Technic Bionicle.

Perhaps this?

The paragraph in this text called CCBS describe what I was trying to say.
Or this image.
Had a second look at the list of Technic Bionicle parts and most of them are possible to rename like you suggested.

So based on this, anything in the CCBS "core" is Constraction and anything that attaches to the "core" is Constraction Accessory. I'm open to adding more "Constraction ..." categories but not too many.
At the end of the day I want to recategorize anything "Technic Bionicle" to either just "Technic" or "Constraction ...". It is relatively easy to recategorize a part from Constraction to Techinic if a part is adopted into the wider Technic design.

Does core include only "bones", or armor shells are included too?
