It looks like you have a duplicated note type

I don’t understand, there are no duplicates, right?

The article says to delete the duplicate Note Types, but I an’t seem to find any here

I think @cqg meant “Card templates”. See Identical Front Sides - Anki Manual.

Open the card template editor for your notetype “Basic (and reversed card)” by clicking on the “Cards…” button with one of the notes selected in the browser (or in the add window), then make a change to card template 2 to make it different from card template 1.
