So it says:
"Reminder: Do not add any of the Gull Records repackagings of 'Rocka Rolla' and 'Sad Wings of Destiny'. Not only are these pointless reissues, but they are opposed by Judas Priest."

As far as I can see, the latter sentence manages to violate two policy rules, and only serves to mislead users:
* We require that all albums added to a band's discography are official, sanctioned or authorized albums. Such albums must have been authorized or made official by the band (or its label) to be considered valid.
("or its label", then it does not matter that the band frowns upon them. Zero Tolerance ... )
* ANY version of a valid album already in a band's discography can be added as an "other version" of that original album.
(It does not matter that they someone with the privilege to write reminders, think they are pointless.)

Shouldn't one rather write that pretty much every one of these will be an "other version" of https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/J ... iest/98808 or https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/J ... _Of/274694 or https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/J ... ero/306338 ?

Fixed. That warning has been there since v1, long before the "additional versions" feature.
