Just started WaniKani, am noticing differences in radical meaning compared to other apps

Is it wani kani being inaccurate? Ive noticed the radical for slide in wani kani is bending stroke on wikapedia, and the drop radical in wanikani is a dot on wikepedia

WaniKani radicals have names, not meanings. They are used for making memorable stories as tools for memorizing the kanji they appear in. As such, they often don’t have any relation to other sources you see.

I would recommend you read the WaniKani FAQs, looking at your other recent topic.
