Answering old questions for completion - yay or nay, within reason?

While I have been helping flag a lot of these unfixable questions down for archival, I have noticed a few and took a quick stab at them just because I could see some potential here. As an example of what I consider answerable, see [link|https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/671067/2008+GL450+4MATIC's+Navigation+is+not+funtional.#answer709926|this], [link|https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/663023/Can+I+fix+keyfob+with+conductive+glue#answer709928|this (this was a challenge as I did not know the specific C, W or R 2 chassis code so a bit of a hole but not a untenable issue as I mentioned the 2 is key)], [link|https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/700396/Can+I+order+Power+button+for+latitude+6330#answer710172|this (correction to set the record straight)] and [link|https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/173707/A-Class+(w168)+temperature+gauge+DIY#answer710227|this (we didn’t get the A-class until 2015 or so, I believe. Couldn’t answer 100%, but there was enough starting meat to get it done)].

If the questions are reasonably answerable, would it not be a good idea to answer these, but disclose it is a “completion” answer? I feel like this may be better for some, especially if the person voting can work it. ***Yes, these answers will be incomplete but I’d rather take a shot at it before deeming it “unanswerable” with some of these. Even if I get no points beyond the +12, I feel like a good chunk can be salvaged.***

If the questions are reasonably answerable, would it not be a good idea to answer these, but disclose it is a “completion” answer so it’s known that I can never make it 100% correct?
