Answering the first question, it would require a monstrous amount of work in order to re-introduce the appearances in the notes. And the whole point of removing them is that we don't want them anymore. Most of that information is unreliable and unverifiable.

Take a look at. Superman's previous appearance is in a comic from a year prior and the next appearance is in a comic seven years later. Then for two more comics the appearances seem chronological until the next app is a decade later.

Also in Superman #76, it indicates that it's Batman's Earth-One first appearance and the next appearance happens 2 years later. Then, the links proceeds to list a rather arbitraty list of appearances between Detective and Batman until, where Batman leaps over to. But in that issue, Batman's previous app is not Detective 211, but WF #71... and in that issue, Batman is linked to completely different appearances.... ..... .....

You get the idea. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Going over and fixing all the wrongly included tags is too cumbersome and impractical. The best solution is to eliminate them altogether. We don't even use it anymore in modern comics!

The people who included those here probably just copied the DCUGuide chronologies, which were terrible already.
