Only nitpick I noticed at first read trough:

Quote:Leading zeros unless immediately before the decimal point must be removed (i.e. 1.5, not 01.5).

Found this a bit confusing, so 0.123,  00000.123  and .123 are all allowed?

Maybe:

Quote:Leading zeros unless at most one immediately before the decimal point must be removed (i.e. 1.5, not 01.5).

I'll kick this off with 2 items:

1. Is the title "LDraw.org Official Parts Library Standards" a good title? Should we use something better?
2. Review the "Introduction" section and provide feedback.

For the upper body 76382p8h, either the reference to Bricklink is incorrect or the color of the hands is wrong. It is an official part.
There are two versions on Bricklink.

Version 973pb0320c01 with yellow hands:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...or.%5D#T=I

and version 973pb0320c02 with light nougat hands:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...or.%5D#T=I

If I were to upload both versions to the Parts Tracker, the reference would be incorrect again the next time it was released, as Rebrickable has an incorrect reference to Bricklink.
For 973pb0320c01, Rebrickable cannot find a part in LDraw.
For 973pb0320c02, Rebrickable refers to 76382p8h, but this part has yellow hands instead of light nougat hands.

My suggestion would be to change the color of the hands on the official part to light nougat and create a second part with yellow hands.
Then the references in the official part will be correct and the new part should hopefully be referenced correctly.

Alternatively, I could upload another version with light nougat hands to the Parts Tracker and hope that the referencing works correctly.

Best regards,

Manfred]]>

apparently two mold variations exist with three different ways of naming them according to RB.

- the 80's version, with a normal stud over the rear wheel and a normal hollowed stud over the front wheel named 4719 :
[Image: 4719-4-af7cb56f-d1bd-4d1c-8441-49ad88ca7cf0.jpg]
- the actual version, with a hollowed over the rear wheel and a reinforced hollowed stud over the front wheel named 4719 or 65574 :
[Image: 65574-4-b7a268dc-edf9-4432-b109-0659317ea52c.jpg]
The problem is that the part on the part tracker seems to be a mix of both mold.

Should we fix it, and how ?
- do nothing ?
- 4719 for the old one and 65574 for the new one ?
- 4719 for the old one and 4719a for the new one ?
- 4719 for the new one and 4719a for the old one ?
- something else ?

Thank you.]]> 4719.

I was updating a part on RB : https://rebrickable.com/parts/6954c01/torso-with-wings/
I clicked on the LDraw link : https://library.ldraw.org/parts/list?tab...=u9090.dat
And got no result. 
At first I thaught it was a problem with RB link generation script. 
So I searched for the part manualy.
Same result : nothing (RB url was correct).
I checked in my LDraw folder and found the part.
I tried again : nothing.
I tried to search for the wing subpart manualy by typing 6954, the part didn't showed up.
I finaly found it by using the official parent page for minifig tors (973) (https://library.ldraw.org/parts/14192?of...entsPage=2)

I know it's not a very common and used part, but I wonder if it's a normal behavior.]]>

On BL and here, the part is called : [...]with Dark Tan Crescent Pattern, whereas its called [...]with Reddish Brown Crescent Print.

At first I thaught there was 2 different parts, one tan and one brown and that I encountered a mapping issue. But this part seems to have been used in one set only. and the picture on BL show a reddish brow cressent and not a dark tan one, like the LEGO element render.

Is it because dark tan printed on black looks like reddish brown ? Or Is there an error somewhere ?]]>
