Subject: Model code for the Renault 6

It searches on the start of model name but the whole chassis code.
That's made on purpose.

Logical, but then wouldn't it be more accurate to use only generic codes for chassis (at least with the problematic older Renault code) for visitors/contributors to better find cars, like I suggested earlier?
So anyone searching Renault Estafette vehicles by the R213 code would also see Alouette, for example, and thus see the Estafette minivan could also be a minibus.

(Is there any existing thread for errors we might see? I saw at least 2 or 3 Alouette models in the Estafette ones...)

You can post comments on the site directly to fix errors...
(and no need to include 3 pics and 5 links each time :grin: just tell what to change)

I don't think it is useful to make a lot of change in the current models/codes, all that will be replaced by another system on the new site, when it will be done.

I did it. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. 9 or 10 suggestions I made for editing or adding details still have no answer, and I think some will stay that way as I made them some weeks ago. I just hope some visitor or contributor will read them one day and just say if I'm right or wrong :smile:

You want me to limit my creativity? Are 1 pic and 3 links still allowed? :boidleau:

It's important for me to explain why I think there is an error or a lack of information. I could say it's because of my newbie status in IMCDb, but in fact it's a habit I have since I worked as a teacher. Showing where I think the problem might be usually:
- help me understand why I was "mistaken on the mistake", when people explain me why I am wrong (like here);
- or help (at least most of the time :wink: ) the mistake being no longer made, if there was one.

See it also as source sharing... But if most people find it bothering, I can try to stop. Just say it.

For small change(1), I do not necessarily put pics. Maybe just a very small little link? :whistle:

Ok, I'll stop transmit that kind of info. Unless I thing there is a huge mistake?

Things posted on weekends gets more easily missed by me (as I do not check the site on weekends), I do not know for other admins.
Also, if you post a small info in the middle of a text with pics and links, it will most likely be missed too.
If a code has to be changed, no need to explain all the history of the car :tongue:

I meant changing the kind of code used, like for the R12 or for the Estafette. That will be cleaned more easily on the new site, and anyway lots of work will be required to convert data to it.
If there are errors to a few vehicles they can be fixed of course. Or info added, like for the R7/Siete.
