My apologies for the confusion, which is quite understandable. Those maintenance templates are built into the template, and are automatically generated when no information is added. This works well on the vast majority of comics, which we should (eventually) index, but not on licensed properties.

As we don't want to duplicate the work of other wikis (who are much better at it, and more complete than we'll ever be), we've decided not to cover them - we only include them for artist credits' sake. Of course, it's optional to link to appearances with an interwiki link to the relevant wiki.

Cursory notes about reprints by other companies have a better place on the volume page than individual comics, though with less specific words. Different publishers publishing old licensed stuff by other companies is not uncommon; DC even brought out a Doc Savage collection that featured stories originally published by Marvel.

I've replied on your other post, but I hope the opening paragraph of this reply covers your question on the Star Trek issue talk pages.
