Hi, Ifixit staff and translators :)

I noticed for a while now that iFixit has a spare part referencing functionality that can be used to reference spare parts and suppliers. I also noticed in some tutorial I translated, some users want to find some spare parts like batteries. So I hesitate to search and reference some spare parts on the old guide I translated to help these users.

This could :

* Help users to find spare parts easily
* Improve existing guides a bit

Here is a link to the iFixit spare part referencing functionality I used and its related guide :

* Spare part : https://www.ifixit.com/Item/Krups_Dolce_Gusto_-_lip_seal_of_the_connector_assembly
* Guide : https://fr.ifixit.com/Tutoriel/Remplacement+du+joint+d%E2%80%99%C3%A9tanch%C3%A9it%C3%A9+du+si%C3%A8ge+de+r%C3%A9servoir+d%E2%80%99une+Dolce+Gusto+Oblo/159444

What is the iFixit policy about its spare part referencing functionality ?

I guess :

* If the spare part is sold by iFixit, reference the iFixit spare part first.
* If the spare part is not sold by iFixit, should we reference spare parts sold by other sellers ? Is there a specific policy about this ?
** I'm pretty sure the base policy is "no conflicts of interest".

Can I do this kind of improvement for existing tutorials ?

Has iFixit a preference for external selling websites ? (exemple : if iFixit doesn't sell the spare part, try to reference the official seller first, then use other suppliers, like some on Ebay, Amazon, etc.)
