Tanpenshuu means "short story collection", so whether or not they're related to the overall plot is irrelevant. Like Dullblade said, all SS are canon, regardless of whether they're gag like or not, not every SS needs to have shocking new information. The author also doesn't need to mention what happened in every SS in the main light novels when they're released
