Description

Example of both fields correctly filled out for the battery symbol:

Some symbols already have them, others have invalid ones or just have the field empty.

Please don't add datasheet links to resistors, caps, inductors (waste of time in my opinion).

Please start off by doing a small portion e.g. flashlight schematic and go step by step (avoid one massive PR). Thank you!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify a small portion of the schematic (e.g., flashlight schematic) and add datasheet links and MPN fields to each KiCad symbol, ensuring the fields are correctly filled based on component datasheets. Avoid resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Use the existing correct examples as a reference.
