Thanks for raising this issue. I once went so far as not to linkify every artist to the other entry (see this), but this was a stopgap solution to say the least. I also think it's far from appropriate, since Limited editions get their own separate entries because of extra discs which the artists might have to be given credit for (it's still a matter of being featured in promotional videos or such, though...).

Personally, I feel it's a bit inconsistent, because we make child albums and bootlegs not appear in the discography pages. It's fine to credit artists to something exclusive to the Limited Editions, of course.
