For what it's worth, I think it's a bad idea. This type of collaboration
artist is really psuedo-artist type that was created as a stop-gap
measure (viz. SG5DisasterRelief). Also the artist won't have a discogs
page at either of the URLs, if you do enter them: the collaborators
themselves will have a page at one of them. So I think on top of it
being a bad idea for the reason mentioned at the top, it's semantically
suspect.
