Hi!

## Problem

For some reason, AnkiWeb shows that I’ve shared 2148 items.  
Most of the items don’t have a title and were shared on 2024-10-23.

## Steps to the problem

I tried uploading [https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/137961696:](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/137961696:)

1. I edited the page HTML to let me input a longer deck title and list of tags.

2. I entered the deck title “🇩🇪🚜🇺🇸 A Frequency Dictionary of German [Audio files] [Deutsch - Englisch] [German - English]”.

3. I used [this description](https://github.com/deemp/anki-decks/blob/main/frequency/de/de-en/versions/audio-files/ankiweb-description.html).

4. In my account, I couldn’t go past the page “Share Status\nIn progress”.

5. Later, I could view the list of my shared decks.

6. I noticed that the number of shared decks grew.

7. The growth stopped in several hours at ~2200 items.

## Required actions

Please remove in my account all dummy duplicated items shared on 2024-10-23.

I’ll also try to remove them using Selenium.

Yes, that sure is what it looks like! I’m sure that @dae will be able to take care of this when he’s online again. But if this isn’t some fluke thing, and there’s a problem in AnkiWeb that needs fixing – I suspect he’ll be able to diagnose and fix the issue better if you _don’t_ try to delete anything right now. So if you wouldn’t mind leaving it be until he has a chance to take a look, that would be great!

@Danika_Dakika, thanks for clarifications!

I’ve removed a couple of decks just to try whether they could be removed.

Okay, I’ll keep the rest until the problem is fixed.
