incorrect number of stars displayed in tab

[wickedjargon]

I have removed all my stars, but my profile still reports that I have 13 stars (see the number after stars in the top right tab):

this inaccurate number is also displayed for other users. You can check my profile here:

https://github.com/wickedjargon?tab=stars

In order to fix this problem, I stared a project, and then unstared it, refreshed my profile page, and all the number of stars disappeared. I guess this is no longer an issue for me, but perhaps some testing should be done on weather removing stars always updates this number.

I think most people don't notice the wrong star count because they've got like 80+ stars. (Assuming they get the wrong star count like we did when we went on a removal spree.)

I am also experiencing this issue. The stars count is incorrect on the Stars tab. It is annoying, especially because this is a reoccurring bug.

I wouldn't expect something so simple not being fixed already by a company that is the foundation for worldwide software development.

data will take time to be updated, particularly when there is cached data, just try logging in in Incognito ( private browsing ) mode and see

That data update time is really long enough.

hopefully this will be seen by one of the Staff members here and take action

Your profile now correctly shows that you haven't starred any repositories. 🙂

I am seeing the same thing. I have 20 repositories starred, but only a count of 16 is showing on my Stars tab. From my testing, it appears private repositories that own and that you star (like for the purposes of including them in a stars list) are not counted in the total displayed on the Stars tab. I have 4 private repositories starred (3 I own and 1 that is a fork of another private repository), so that's why I have 20 stars but only showing 16. Starring/unstarring those four private repositories does not cause the Stars tab count to change. It's confusing for sure.
