Uses Jisho.org to indicate whether a vocabulary word is considered “common” or not. Wanikani Common Vocab Indicator Show whether the vocabulary word is common or not according to Jisho.org [36 PM] Adds the word “Common” or “Uncommon” to the top right corne…

I think you bring up a good point. Perhaps I should just go with the Jisho.org approach and not say anything when it isnt “common”.

There are “Obscure” and “Archaic” indicators there, but I’m not sure anything on this site really falls into that. I took a quick check and both 泌尿 and 泌尿器 aren’t marked as common words.
