Why is this deity restricted?

Neshen, for whatever reason is restricted even though I can't find anything in his edicts or anathema that would make him any less fitting than Sarenrae. How come she gets to stay generally available while Neshen, who shares her redemption focus, is banished to the restricted list?

Edicts: Lead others to the light of good, strive for self-perfection, be a support for others struggling to change their ways.

Anathema: Stop taking care of yourself, wallow in self-pity, refuse to right past wrongs.

Possibly his MO of how he tests his followers rubbed some people the wrong way?

Except the reason stated on the official PFS Additional Resources page is because of something in the edicts and/or anathema, which doesn't make sense if one actually looks at those. So again, what's going on?

When Neshen was first published, due to a likely copy/paste error his edicts and anathema were exactly the same. If that's no longer the case then we'll get the Character Options page updated!

Weird, I can find the corrected text on sites like Archives of Nethys, but I can't find where the text is updated. It's not on the Pathfinder FAQ list.

The most likely place would be in your actual book. (I'm not sure if the PDF has been updated for this since I downloaded mine, but if you also have the physical it's probably still there, I don't think there was a new printing).

In my book, both edicts and anathema say "Lead others to the light of good, strive for self-perfection, be a support for others struggling to change their ways"

Found it: the correct anathema was provided by Luis Loza here.
