I’d like to suggest a feature improvement.

Currently, "Resurrect"ing a burned item places it into your review queue.

I think it would be useful, and help extend the usefulness of WaniKani after hitting level 60, if we could instead place an item back in our _lesson_ queue. This is so that you would be able to resurrect a bunch of items as you discover you’ve forgotten them, and then work through the resulting lessons at an appropriate pace.

I think you should be able to demote any item to any lower SRS level, including to level 0 = lesson queue.

How can I do that?

You can’t. I’ve been saying for 3+ years that WaniKani _should_ add this feature, but they still haven’t.

Here’s the first time I made the request. Since then I’ve tweaked the suggestion to ask that they allow you to demote the item to any lower SRS level.

Inevitably, this leads to people recommending use of the double check script. The problem is that the script is very brittle (as many people recently found out). I think having a way to self report answers as wrong would be beneficial, but I have a variation of that suggestion this time around, which achieves that goal and a little more. My suggestion is for all radical/kanji/vocab pages to have a Demote …
