Superchargers will frequently have a soft open where they aren’t totally commissioned but will still work when plugged in. I think this happened with the Austin supercharger where it was in and out of service for a period of time before Tesla officially called it open for business.

I went ahead and added it. The icon is not the Supercharger color but it’s there now!
My understanding is that PlugShare will remove it if it didn’t come from the official channels.

I've done the run many times. Here was my post about it 4 years ago.

You actually added a second one, which is described as a "wall plug". So now there is twice as much useless incorrect information on the location. Both of which will be deleted by somebody such as @Chuq when the "real" supercharger is added by Tesla.
So, you are adding incorrect information. Twice. The supercharger location may or may not be actually permanently open (as determined by the Tesla tech that commissions it), your efforts will be erased, you will cause needless work for somebody else, and ... since it is incorrect information, you might cause a problem for a bona fide EV user trying to find a place to charge their vehicle.
What have you done rafacq? what have you done? How could you do this? How can you so heartless?

Just for clarification - I don't have access to delete them. Plugshare usually deletes them themselves (often it's obvious because the person puts "supercharger" in the name). Sometimes they are added with intentionally obscure names, presumably to avoid getting detected. The problem there is that if nothing in the name tells Plugshare that it's an under-construction supercharger, then nothing in the name tells actual users either - those looking for a charge, or in some cases someone else adds a duplicate entry.
I went by there today and "filled up". It worked as expected. I was at about 40% when I got there so the peak charge rate only hit 126kw, so it would probably hit 150 if I was around 10%. It does not appear to charge $$ yet. The display just showed my previous supercharging amount while it was charging. It filled to 90% and shut off without issue.
Webster isn't listed as online yet but 10 of the 12 stalls have been working for a couple of weeks. 3a/3b are not working.
