Currently, the text “Please see the shared deck page for more info.” is only added to the highest level deck of a downloaded deck. But sometimes this deck is just a container for its subdeck(s) (sometimes just 1) and does not itself contain any cards.
For example,

IIRC, this kind of container structure results when someone only wants to share a single deck but exports it while it is a subdeck of a parent deck.
The user will want to delete the parent deck. But then they lose the link to where they downloaded it from unless they copy the deck description from the parent to the subdeck.
For this simple case and any more comprehensive rearrangement of deck hierarchies, I suggest that the link to the shared deck page is also added to the descriptions of all subdecks.
It says the “Please see [deck page]” message is only included in the parent deck when sharing a subdeck of this parent. Is this what still happens? I’m seeing two different things on my end:
The message is on a subdeck but not in the parent deck (and it should).
The message isn’t on any deck’s description.
Might be a bug on AnkiDroid’s end too. In any case, I think the ideal situation is:
Anki includes the message in the deck shared and every deck on top of that (in a deck tree).
Or, AnkiWeb only shares the subdeck and removes the parent/grandparent.
You’re asking about adding the Description to subdecks in shared decks. That’s the same as the other post, so it doesn’t seem worth having 2 separate discussions.
Fair enough. I just didn’t want to necropost (which also means emails to OP).
My observation with one of my deck is that the top level deck doesn’t have the description which one of the subdecks have. So, I’m asking that be added. OP was asking the opposite (parent has description, add it to subdeck).
Another observation is that in a different shared deck I downloaded no deck got a description which is odd.
