How to add a compilation album (various metal artists) to the label?

Specifically, I want to add this compilation:
https://www.discogs.com/Various-Stormbr ... se/9246569

to this label:
https://www.metal-archives.com/labels/Infaustum/22515

I can only edit general info, unable to add releases.

Since it has more than six bands, we cant add it to the site. Best you can do is make a mention of it in the band/label notes.

Those over six are considered "various artist compilations" and can 1. Quickly clutter band discographies and 2. Are often unofficial. Thus they are deemed outside of the scope of the site. Those familiar with the guidelines know to simply add these to band notes as "compilation appearances."

Can this be a valid album?
http://powerofmetal.dk/news/therion-blo ... n-march-15
It's a release under Therion's name and the first CD is recorded mostly by Therion. Only the second one is a classic V/A so overall the album is not a typical compilation. Yet I'm fully aware of the six band borderline and I'd like to know your mind about this album. Does it belong in Therion's discography?

Hello, I'm a bit confused about the "add a compilation" rules.
In the rules text, is written "We DO NOT accept ... various artist" compilations (with 7 or more bands) as valid"

Then, compilations with less than 6 bands are accepted?

I own a few compilation albums (Not bootlegs) with 5 - 6 bands and 4 or more songs per band. Are these albums acceptable?

There's some compilations on Metal archives and labeled as split albums... is right to do that???
An example is the Hypocrisy / Destruction / Raise Hell / Crematory / Kataklysm split on https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/H ... 2000/60007

Thanks for your help

Sometimes these albums are indeed thought of as splits by the bands or label. For example, this one is literally titled 5 Way Split.
