Why?

How are those any different than any other complete assembly which is included
in sets?

Or, put differently, would you agree that it's inconsistent that some assemblies
aren't included in sets:

 
Part No: 30163c01pb01  Name: Container, Coffin with Tan Mummy Relief Colorful Pattern Lid (Sarcophagus)
* 
30163c01pb01 (Inv) Container, Coffin with Tan Mummy Relief Colorful Pattern Lid (Sarcophagus)
Parts: Container, Decorated

While other similar parts are included in sets?

 
Part No: 30163c01  Name: Container, Coffin with Mummy Relief Plain Lid (Sarcophagus)
* 
30163c01 (Inv) Container, Coffin with Mummy Relief Plain Lid (Sarcophagus)
Parts: Container
 
Part No: 30163c02  Name: Container, Coffin with Vampire Relief Lid
*

Part No: 30163c02pb01  Name: Container, Coffin with Vampire Relief Lid and Skulls Pattern (Stickers) - Set 1381
* 
30163c02pb01 (Inv) Container, Coffin with Vampire Relief Lid and Skulls Pattern (Stickers) - Set 1381
Parts: Container, Decorated
 
Part No: 30163c03pb01  Name: Container, Coffin with White Bat Pattern Lid
* 
30163c03pb01 (Inv) Container, Coffin with White Bat Pattern Lid
Parts: Container, Decorated

I'm not a fan of inconsistency, but there may be a logic here I'm missing.

I'm not a fan of inconsistency either. Looking at the change log for part
3830c01 leads me to believe that allowing to list 3830c01 as a counterpart on
the sets I listed fell thru the cracks.

I prefer to have that particular part listed as a counterpart, but as I said,
looking thru the change log, it's just not allowed. I put the request in
to keep things consistent even though I do not agree with it.

If Admin's are going to allow that part to be listed as a counterpart, I'm
all for it, the one's that were previously deleted should be relisted.

We agree! I'll leave your request open for a bit to give others the chance
to comment on the potential change.

Lot of work, but it can be done. The only difficulty is knowing if the part
came assembled in a set (it's the difference between adding the part as a
Regular part or a Counterpart). Hopefully someone who has knowledge of the way
this particular part came in sets (particularly older sets) will share that knowledge.

After further thought, I have decided to not mess with this right now. There
are multiple inconsistencies in the way counterparts are handled on BrickLink,
but there are also far more important things which I believe should be dealt
with first and counterpart inconsistencies, while personally irritating, are
a low-priority item.

I approved your requests.
