You don’t actually have to redo them. There’s just a delay in them getting cleared out of your queue.
We have a fix underway. It needs to go through testing first, but it should remedy this problem once and for all. We really appreciate your patience and understanding.
Just to clarify. Are you seeing repeats when you do your actual reviews or are you just basing whats coming up by using the timeline script?
Note: The fix I am referring to is the discrepancy between the API information the third-party timeline script is being fed with to the review state we display on the website. This doesn’t affect your complete reviews.
Maybe I should wait to do my 145 reviews then… so that I don’t have to do them again at 11pm when my 5 new items appear…
Your reviews should be fine. It’s been registering fine for all but a very very minute few ever since the situation cleared up 24 hours ago.
So please contact us directly if you are experiencing an issue. If you aren’t, then just continue on with your reviews.
If this is the case can you shoot me an email at hello@wanikani.com with a list of vocabulary repeats and a general timeline of when this was happening?
Um… I guess I’ll try it with 20 or so first. I haven’t really been on top of them in the last week, which is why I haven’t noticed anything (yet?).
EDIT: I know we’re already dealing with both this & synonyms in the PMs, but to help you track this problem:

I think mine have been fine today but to clarify the repeats were happening with my actual reviews not just those on the timeline script. So I was completing them and then having to do them again 15 minutes later 
Most people trying to explain the situation to me or anybody else who’s affected seem to have a very different idea of what’s going on. I have over 150 reviews ATM, which is not okay (They should be at less than 50 based on how many I’ve done). They do NOT disappear if I wait long enough. Also, say I do 40 reviews out of my 150 review pile, then I get tired and do something else… you know what’s gonna happen. I start doing the same 150 reviews again and have no control over which ones appear.
Saying ‘you don’t have to do them’ is not helpful. I DO have to do them. 
Can you check your PM?
Currently trying to debug this further with Viet, guys. I think it’s affecting my Master items. Not 100% sure if it’s only Mastered items, though.
Same. All the items that go to Masters pop up again and again. Can’t say if it’s only Master either, but it looks that way.
/Edit
Nope. There are others too. Just had several items I failed today, some moved to Enlightened, some got burned. They should be at Guru now.
One that got burned was the radical “farming”.
Can you me a shortlist of items affected?
And are you using scripts?
It would help us tremendeously if you provide us some details so we can investigate this.
So far I have monitored and shared the results of several people’s sessions who say they have had issues and none of them exhibited any after going through them.
I’m using Vivaldi.
I have no Wanikani related extensions, I use the following extensions: Adblock Plus, Amazon Assistant, Chrome Remote Desktop, CookiesOK, Disable HTML5 Autoplay, Ecosia, Enhanced Steam, Habitica, Page Monitor, Pinterest Save Button, Reddit Enhancement Suite, uBlock, URL in title.
I also have the android app on my phone, but I rarely use it. Didn’t use it today.
Some burned items I could recall from today that I encountered at least twice (some of them I failed the first time) as follows.
部屋 (room)
睡眠 (sleep)
意 (idea)
農 (the radical “farming”)
段々 (steps)
残 (remainder)
Thanks for the info.
Your browser extensions are fine. I should have prefaced asking if you were using any third-party WaniKani specific extensions.
To be precise: I have two installed (Wanikanify and Wanikani Notifier), but they are NOT enabled and haven’t been for some time.
I’ll be able to do some more work and checking things from my desktop in a couple of hours (or maybe sooner). I’m out right now.
I am doing the same reviews now for the third time. If you can not find the problem just rollback the servers to a state where this problem was not present.
I guess there are more than enough people facing this sort of problem.
PS: And please deactivate the 24 hour cooldown for the vacation mode until this problem is fixed…
If they changed the form of data in the database, rolling back could actually risk more problems.
Hey Luke, do you know which vocab/kanji/radical items are coming back to you? Or can you say which SRS levels you’ve seen come back? In my case, pretty sure I’ve been seeing items I Master again on subsequent reviews.
I’m at home now and ready to do some reviews to do more testing and hopefully find the problem.
