While the fourth anthology got a stand-alone release, the previous three were bundled with the special editions of volume 3, 5 and 7 respectively, and I'm not sure if MAL counts these as part of the original series or not.

In my opinion , it's no different from OVAs.
If they were bundled , then they should get a different entry.
Just write somewhere in the background or more info section of the Main Manga that they were bundled with Volume x.

@Alexioos95 I wonder if there's a precedent for this. By the way, when I said "bundled", that was because the wiki worded it that way. As far I can tell, the anthologies were physically part of the special edition volumes, so it's not as simple as an OVA.

While I would certainly like to see those added, I think manga DB Guideline 1.2.5 means it will not be:
Excludes booklets distributed with manga magazines or other printed books.

Unless it falls under this rule:
Includes short manga contained within other printed books (e.g. fanbooks/artbooks/databooks), provided they are written by published authors in the database and have 5+ pages.

Not quite clear to me.
