I'm not sure that splitting makes when they are taken over by someone else is a good idea. Otherwise you would have to do the same for Rolls-Royce Jaguar, Bentley, Bugatti, etc.
After reflection I'd rather keep the two Mini together, and add a rule as suggested above to make it displaying differently depending on the era.

Hey, the forum site finally got an overhaul! Very nice.

Already since a few weeks:
https://imcdb.opencommunity.be/forum_topic-9976-94069-Forum_issues.html
but as long as your browser had the old style in cache you didn't see the changes

Thank you very much for the updates antp. Now we have this option, it would be great to split the Avia brand in two, one for the Czech, and another for the Spanish.
It's obviously not urgent.
Thank you again.

Thank you very much!

New make ( Gibson ) found by Mike962 but i can't enter it as such since the system does not allow me to do so ( it insists that i pick something from the list )

You can create a new make either from the home page or from the "all makes" page: there is a "add make" link above the list of makes.
Some day later I'll maybe add such possibility directly in the "edit vehicle" page, but as there aren't so often new makes it was less urgent.

I've just added a new make - Serra - for this thing. Can't find a wiki page to fill in the box, or a logo or model list, so could only enter that it's Spanish. Result the make page is a bit bare on detail. However there is info out there - eg here or here.

So questions: have I done it right?? is there info from my 2 links you want to add to the make info??

Another new make here - claimed to be Transcraft and I believe them. But can't find any info to fill any boxes.

Update: have filled in some basic info on Serra, and after mike962 found a leaflet on Transcraft. Still only bare bones stuff, but not sure what else there is.

It is fine These fields are there if we want to add info when it is available, but it can also be quite empty if we don't have more.
Also, most of the existing 6000+ makes still don't have anything, since they were created automatically.
For recent makes it is easier to have info and logo of course.
Like here I've put the full company name, website link, and (one of the reason of this) a link to a related make: https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Suzhou-Eagle.html
When there is a Wikipedia page, I also sometimes included the first sentence of the page as description. Like here, where there is also the link to the other make sharing the name: https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Triumph.html

@Antp: I think we can put MINI in capital for all the chassis codes starting with R (R50, R52, etc...) and F (F55, F56 etc...) to make things quicker.

I forgot that, I'll try to do that in the next days.
There is also U, and all those without code. So the other way seems easier: uppercase when chassis is not starting by AD.

Oh yes I forgot about the latest U ones. There should be some classic Minis listed without the chassis code though so it might be better not to put the uppercase to all of them.

I checked previously and dsl updated the few classic ones without code, but there are still some Moke without code, I forgot about these.
Anyway with both solutions those without chassis codes will cause issue.
I can do the uppercase only for the R/F/U codes, but then all the newer ones without code should get one (one by default if the picture does not allow to chose precisely which one they are).

Yes sounds good to me.

I've split this thread to put the have the split/changes requests in another thread:
https://imcdb.opencommunity.be/forum_topic-9986-94113.html#p94113
So please use that other thread for these requests, and this one for comments/feedback related to updates applied to the site.

If you want to code the Portugese Mokes as YDO18 to solve the problem it's a bodge, but has some logic in the absence of a known code. Once the system is established practice, it should bed down easily enough.
