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

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??

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.

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 )

If they are related and the Bristol brand is a name shared between companies, they should stay together. Like Renault or Volvo, where cars and trucks are made by different companies, but using the same "brand".
But that seems a more complicated case indeed
And Bristol being a city, it does not make clear if they really "share" a brand or both use the name of the city. Since they are not complete strangers, I think it is easier to keep both under the same make on the site.
Another edge case was this one: https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Fiberfab.html
The German company was founded by someone from the original US company, and since they shared some models under licence it is easier to have both listed as only make.

I'm wondering if Bristol should be split between cars and commercial vehicles:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Cars
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Commercial_Vehicles
In fairness, the Tramway company and the Aerospace company were founded by the same person so possibly not as straightforward as I first thought.

Indeed, I'll split these.
edit: done
https://imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=FSC-Star for the Polish company, since "FSC Star" was its full name
https://imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Star-Car for the US marque
https://imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Star-mc for the Yamaha motorcycles
https://imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Star for the UK marque

Thank you for the new updates on the site! Maybe next task would be splitting Star brand. It's a Polish truck manufacturer but also US and British car manufacturer.

Thank you very much!

Done, I created a new page for the Spanish models:
https://imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Avia-AISA
And kept the other one for the Czech models, since that make is still active:
