Delay after submit - Peter Blomberg - 2025-11-18
Philo wrote that "... BL keywords are automagically added by PT after "some time"" in the comments of one patterned part.
How long does one need to wait for that to happen and why is there a delay?
If the delay is there for a reason, can't the patterned parts be flagged somehow to indicate that it is not yet ready for review?
RE: Delay after submit - Orion Pobursky - 2025-11-18
There's a delay for 2 reasons:
- The external site lookup is a queued process. Why is it queued? Rebrickable API calls are limited to 1 request/sec. If someone submitted 15 new parts (e.g. part that haven't already had the Rebrickable lookup happen) that would be 14 seconds on top of the rest of the processing time. No one wants to wait that long and now we're starting to run dangerously close to the default timeout of 30sec
- Patterned part names are different between Rebrickable and LDraw. If you submit a new patterned part, odds are that the LDraw number hasn't been set in the Rebrickable DB. They pull our info once a day and process from there. I have it set up so that all new parts, without Rebrickable data, do a relookup 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month after submission.
Bottom line:
With very few exceptions (read offensive words), parts with errors or omissions in keywords (that aren't already enforced by the submit process) are review ready and should not be given a Hold vote for that reason.

If there are any errors in the header that aren't caught by the submit process then only a comment is needed. I read every comment before I certify and fixing header errors is trivial.
