Identifications made for others question

I noticed that on my profile it gives a different number of identifications than if I click identifications.

Browser, Safari, https://www.inaturalist.org/people/209231 compared to https://www.inaturalist.org/identifications/birderkellyk

Step 1: https://www.inaturalist.org/people/209231 see number of identifications here

Step 2: click on the identifications which brings you to: https://www.inaturalist.org/identifications/birderkellyk. See the stats upper right and that the number of identifications for other is different

Step 3: Why the discrepancy in these numbers?

this is not a bug; those two numbers are counting different things. The profile one is how many observations you’ve added IDs to, the one where you click identifications includes IDs that you made but then withdrew.
