Hey Guys!
I started to use scripts when I was Level 2 and I really LOVE some of them.
Therefore I’d like to interchange some experience about scripts with you.
**Which scripts do you use?**
**Why do you use this scripts?**
**Are there scripts you avoid on purpose?**
**Did you make bad experience with scripts?**
_Okey, I’ll make the start:_
My most important scripts are the [Ultimate Timeline Script](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-ultimate-timeline/10516) and the [Ultimate Reorder 2 Script](https://community.wanikani.com/t/wanikani-reorder-ultimate/8269). Without them I would not be able to keep up the fast speed of 1Lvl / Week.
Of course I would never abuse the Reoder Script to neglect my vocab. Actually I always do all my vocab before the next level.
The next script I want to point out is [Katana Madness](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-katakana-madness/15716). It converts the on’yomi readings into katakana. I really love this script, because I think it is very useful to know which reading you are learning. When I see a jukugo of only kanji without okurigana or a jukugo with okurigana I can intuitivly guess the reading. Actually I do my vocab lessons like: “Oh, it could menan this and could be pronounced like that”. If it’s right, I just skip it 😛
I don’t understand why WK teaches On’yomi in hiragana 😕
For me as a non-native English speaker the [Close but no Cigar Skript](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-prevent-your-answer-was-a-bit-off-answers-from-being-accepted-aka-close-but-no-cigar/7134) is very valuable, because I repeat the correct spelling of English words. For example I always wrote “independAnce” instead of “independence”. I will learn about 8000 Japanese vocab, so I will repeat about 8000 Engisch vocab. And a “bit off” spelling is total useless for me. I would just remember the wrong spelling of English words.
I absolutely LOVE (!!!) the [Auto Commit Script](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-auto-commit-the-end-of-the-enter-key/11825). If you type in the correct menaning/reading it will just commit it to WK and go forward. OMG, I did spend SO MUCH TIME checking my input!!! And despite that I always got typos in the okurigana. Or even better: In my head I got the correct reading, but my fingers just press other keys. For example this stupid “nn” for ん. Or I love to type いる instead of いろ (色). With this script I get faster through my reviws (about 50% faster!!!) and I got way less “fake leeches”. Before the script I got about 80% right, now I got about 95%!!!
The downside of the script: I get more than one chance. When I type something and its note automaticly commited, I start to think: may it use the other reading? What did I do wrong? And than I remeber: Oh, yeah this vocab used to read like that. And I think: yeah, I actually knew that, lets type it in 😕
_Do you think this is bad for my learning progress?_
And there is one more little helper: The [Hide Context Sentence Script](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-hide-context-sentence-translation/11215). Its just useless, if you want to read a Japanese sentence and the translation stand just beneath.
The [Leech Trainer Script](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-leech-training-script/21699) looks interesting, but it doesn’t do much for me. I always have between 1 and 10 leeches when I get new vocab, but that is just normal. They will disappear after a few days, so I won’t train them separately.
Thanks to all hard working programmers of the scripts! You are AWESOME! Really, WK gets soooo much better with this scripts!!
~T 🦁

My favorite scripts include:
- The most important one for me: [[Userscript] WK Anki Mode](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-anki-mode-active-support/14399) since my native language isn’t English and I kept getting entries wrong and I want to go fast. I just love the Anki mode.
- [[Userscript] WaniKani Lesson Cap](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-lesson-cap/21865) so that I don’t overwhelm myself with too many lessons
- [[Userscript]: WaniKani Ultimate Timeline](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-ultimate-timeline/10516) (the new version is even better)
- [[Userscript] Item Marker](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-item-marker/12914) I use this to mark similar items that always confuses me
- [[Userscript] Keisei 形声 Semantic-Phonetic Composition](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-keisei-%E5%BD%A2%E5%A3%B0-semantic-phonetic-composition-v166/21479) Super helpful, saves some mnemonic effort
- The reorder script although I don’t remember which one is the correct version becauses I made my own fork with some adjustments
Less essential but I love them anyway:
- [https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-level-up-celebrator/4894Leveling](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-level-up-celebrator/4894Leveling) up would not be the same without it
- [[Userscript] Dashboard Progress Plus](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-dashboard-progress-plus/8309)
- [[Userscript]: Golden Burn](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-golden-burn/11464)
- [[Unsupported] Progress Chart Script](https://community.wanikani.com/t/progress-chart-script/20735) still a bit sad that @hitechbunny is not around anymore 😢
- [[Userscript] WaniKani Super Burn Happy Script - Celebrate your burns!](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-super-burn-happy-script-celebrate-your-burns/5289) also not essential but fun
Thanks so much to all of you who invested their time into this. I wouldn’t want to do WaniKani without these scripts!

To be honest… yeah, I do 😅 when I used Memrise for a couple of weeks, one of the things I thought was absolutely the worst was the way it would automatically submit your answer once you typed it in correctly. I would just keep typing in different possibilities until I hit the correct one (and then it moves on so you barely have time to process which was correct). I didn’t actually get to know the correct answer at all.

> I don’t understand why WK teaches On’yomi in hiragana
They do tell you whether it’s on or kun, and writing the on’yomi in katakana is just a dictionary convention. I don’t use this script and I’m still able to guess the readings of new vocab like you are.
Not that I don’t think this is a good script, but for me the value would be in katakana exposure.
* * *
**Scripts I Use**
**[Ultimate Timeline](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-ultimate-timeline/10516)** - of course. For me this is _the_ must-have script. Only being offered information about my next set of reviews is useless for helping me to plan my reviews, and I _do_ have to plan them, because I have life to get on with as well as WK.
**[Jitai](https://community.wanikani.com/t/jitai-%E5%AD%97%E4%BD%93-the-font-randomizer-that-fits/12617)** - randomises the font your reviews are displayed in, so that you don’t just get used to the WK font. Everything about this is fab; I can’t recommend it enough.
**[Keisei Phonetic-Semantic Composition](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-keisei-%E5%BD%A2%E5%A3%B0-semantic-phonetic-composition-v166/21479)** - tells me whether a kanji was constructed with a phonetic component, or whether it’s used in other kanji as a phonetic component. Contributes even more to being able to guess readings.
**[Pitch Info](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-pitch-info/18745)** - tells you (with a great diagram too) the pitch type for vocabulary. It makes me pay more attention to the pitch in the recording, and helps me interpret it more accurately. I’m also learning what the different pitch options _are_.
**[Lesson Hover Details](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-lesson-hover-details/29312)** - shows you how many radicals, kanji and vocabulary lessons you have from your dashboard, on hover. I was always going right into my lessons to find this information, so this saves a lot of time.
**[Auto-Focus Notes](https://community.wanikani.com/t/auto-focus-notes-on-click/30951)** - this literally means that when I click into the notes text boxes it goes straight to typing mode without requiring another click. An essential script, haha!
They’re all amazing and I’m incredibly grateful to the people who created them; and for the WK Open Framework, of course!

I use this script too, and yes, definitely. It’s very convenient but you really don’t learn as well. I combat this by disabling it for a while every few levels and making sure I learn properly.

My script usage got a bit out of hand, I will try to sort them by importance for me 🙂
- [Wanikani Override](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-override-ignore-answer-button-active-support/17999)
- I use it all the time, I don’t really rely on the WK radicals, and this stupid MacBook keyboard now has the habit to press B twice, grrrr
- [Wanikani Self-Study Quiz](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-self-study-quiz/13191)
- Great script, and got even better recently! I just go through all kanji on the current level again quickly several times, no problem with the level afterwards!
- Dashboard Progress Plus
- Wanikani Ultimate Timeline
- Jitai
- I shouldn’t have installed that _exploding banana_ font or how it was called …
- [Niai Similar Kanji](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-niai-%E4%BC%BC%E5%90%88%E3%81%84-visually-similar-kanji-v114/23325)
- I often think “haven’t I seen this before?” Very useful to find troublemakers that are just too similar.
- [Fast Abridged Wrong/Multiple Answers](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-fast-abridged-wrongmultiple-answer/19984)
- Show all meanings after your answer, good to reinforce also the meanings you don’t use (thanks again @DaisukeJigen for adding it!)
- Katakana Madness
- Also helps with the phonetic compositions (because they only apply to ON readings)
- [Lesson User Synonyms 2](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-lesson-user-synonyms-v2/21960)
- Also add synonyms during lessons, I really wonder why this is not part of vanilla WK
- Keisei
- Starts to help you from maybe level 10–20, I think it’s great 😉
- Wanikani Reorder Ultimate 2
- For sorting radicals and kanji to the front
- I only turn it on during lessons when I need it, this extra bar freaks me out
- [Wanikani Stroke Order Diagram](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-stroke-order-diagram/5040)
- Very useful to get a better feeling for the kanji, I will practice writing later™
- Doushi – I have this script in “permanent alpha”, it shows other verbs with the same kanji, with the same reading, …
- Wanikani Pitch Info
- Wanikani Real Numbers
- Timer script – another script in development, a timer that also computes stats like median time per answer, …
- [DotDotDot Expander](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-dotdotdot-expander/26879)
- Prevents the unnecessary abbreviations with … even on wide screens
- Golden Burn
The scripts definitely turn WK from like 7/10 to 10/10.

Wow, you really use many scripts. I always try to not use that many scripts, because I’m afraid that they could interference and become buggy. Did you get any bugs because of too many scripts?

Haha yeah, some do interfere with each other, but in those cases I just do some CSS or JS magic and force them to cooperate. I’m also sure that some of them don’t work at all because of interference, but I have no way of detecting that unless I look for a specific feature of the script.

I only use three: **WaniKani Ultimate Timeline** , **WaniKani Override** and **WaniKani Reorder Ultimate 2**. The Holy Trilogy of WaniKani Scripts. I also think they cover three major holes in the system: a proper data visualisation system, the ability to mark an answer as incorrect (to stop wasting time reviewing an item just because of a typo) and being able to review items as one pleases.
Edit: thank you @kumirei, typo inception.

Yeah, when I realize that I do not really remeber a high rank item, i commit it wrong on purpose. At the moment I feel like I remember my items very well, but the future will show if it is right o.O

Without userscripts I wouldn’t be here anymore at all, because I can’t possibly type through hundreds and hundreds of reviews. While I love all the scripts I use, Anki mode irrelephant ver. and user synonyms are my shared my number one! 😍
