@elor Credits on silent film restorations are not directly eligible in the IMDb filmography section and never have been, sorry.
For titles, you may record the details in the Alternate Versions section, see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/alternate-versions/GB7UDDKCAAVFXCXH (and note that this section supports linking any names who worked on the restoration back to their IMDb name pages as in https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/other-submission-guides/linking-names-and-titles-in-text-based-lists/G3SKJC2XJEHCMRS8).
For names, you may record the details in the Other Works section, see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/names-biographical-data/biographical-data-guidelines/GMT9T242VQADZUQM#other (and this also supports links to the corresponding title pages as above).
Hope this helps.
Actually there is a "video producer" title that implies an alternate version of a silent film that has been restored and issued on blu-ray .... and includes a music track the original silent version would not have had.
