Updates of the Bricklink and Rebrickable references - Manfred Schaefer - 2025-06-27
Hello,
How often are the references to Bricklink and Rebrickable updated for the parts?
Is this update only carried out for parts on the Parts Tracker or also for official parts?
I'm asking because I've noticed that the reference to Bricklink for the official parts 2431 is sometimes incorrect.
For example, the reference for 2431p01 is Bricklink 2431pb243, but should be Bricklink 2431pb0243. This is the case for all parts that start with pb and have a number.
The reference for the official part 98138pz2 is also incorrect. Bricklink 98138pb258 would be correct here, instead of Bricklink 98138pb072.
The references at Rebrickable are correct.
Greetings
Manfred

Official parts: manual, so mostly never
Unofficial parts: upon submit, 1 day/week/month after submit, just prior to release, and manual.
Everything is through the RB api. So if RB is wrong about the BL or other numbers then the keywords will be wrong as well. This is a service I implemented as a convenience to the users so I'm not really that concerned if things are wrong every so often.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Would you carry out the mentioned corectures?
I can also carry out the corrections and provide you with the files, e.g. as a zip file.

Given the mess Bricklink has caused in the recent months with renaming decade old parts (and just announced plans to further "innovate"), I wouldn't take to much effort here
If the Rebrickable link is correct, everything's fine.

Please do not submit any part fixes just to correct these keyword. It likely won't work due to how the PT handles these things and it unnecessary. I'll correct via script at some point.
