inc params question

[Bob Faist-2]

I am trying to test various "inc" parameters on an artist MBID query but a few do not work.  I'm not sure if I am just picking MBID values which do not have this data or something else is going on.

Here are the inc params that never return an extra data for me.

label-rels
counts
release-events
discs
labels

According to the wiki (http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/XMLWebService), these are valid.

Example:

What you are listing here are release 'inc' arguments (label-rels is
valid for artists, but there are rarely any data). See
http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/XMLWebService#artist_resources for inc
arguments that can be used on artists.

What you are listing here are release 'inc' arguments (label-rels is
valid for artists, but there are rarely any data).

These 'inc' arguments are valid the artist resource, but are only useful if you request releases data for your artist (using the 'sa-*' or 'va-*' 'inc' arguments).

Example (I've just appended '+sa-Official' to yours'):
