[OBSOLETE] Wanikani Override ("ignore answer button")

WaniKani API And Third-Party Apps

Hello
I’m talking abaout
Better differentiate between "reading" and "meaning" - #33 by Weetzie
And you are right, there are enough clues. You could even say more than
clues :slight_smile:
Nevertheless it seems to be a problem for some beginners where I think
it would help me and perhaps people similiar to me.
Anyways if you could perhaps give me a pointer how to check for how I
can check whether it wants a reading or meaning and how to access the
kanji background I would be grateful.
If you don’t feel like doing that no hard feelings. You also don’t need
to anwer. Then I just have to RTFM if I feel like it.
And it’s not like I never tell people to RTFM at my job :slight_smile: So I can
understand it.

Cheers,
kyoxren

Agreed. And here is an extra sentence because a forum post needs to be 10 characters minimum. 'Kay, think I’m good now… kthxbye :stuck_out_tongue:

Do you have (web) programming experience? The properties you need to change are easy to find if you inspect the page, but if you’ve got no idea what I just said, I can just give you the code.

I have programming experience and I have an idea about what you just said.

45

alright, if you’re stuck, lemme know.

46

This may already be a thing and I just couldn’t find it and I don’t know how hard it would be to implement blah blah blah…

@Mempo - Feature request: Can you add somewhere in the review summary the answered correct percentage that you would have had if you didn’t override? I’ve noticed that I’m abusing the script more and more but if I could see just how much by comparing the percentages I think I would be less liberal with The Button. (Ex. If I missed a radical but override it, my final WK percentage would be 100%. I also want it to show that I would have had 0%.)

47

Sounds interesting. I’m gonna look into it on the weekend.

48

I installed the script but it doesn’t seem to do anything. I have greasemonkey installed and am using Firefox. Anything else I should do? I like the script because I am a very fast but sometimes inaccurate typist.

49

Greasemonkey is flaky at best these days. Try Tampermonkey.

50

Yea, like seanblue said, definitely go with Tampermonkey. I even removed mention of greasemonkey from the script installation guide because of problems like these. It’s been pretty unreliable lately.

51

Thank you. Tampermonkey did the trick.

52

Anyone having trouble with this script? It just stopped working for me (it worked fine last night).

Google chrome is now throwing a syntax error when the script loads.

53

Just installed it, appears to be busted.

54

This script stopped working for me a few months back. I’d recommend using this one instead:

I find it’s actually easier to use, anyway; just hit backspace to undo your answer and start over.

55

Still working here

56

I just tested it on Firefox and Chrome, and it’s still working for me. Unless anyone can give me more information, I can’t help you!

Some first-aid advice I can give:

  • use Tampermonkey
  • if it suddenly stops working, maybe you recently installed a script that mine could have a conflict with? Or your browser / scripts are not up to date?
  • Try reinstalling it

Thanks so much, this script is awesome!

58

Is this something like an “Undo” button, which would let me retype if I knew the answers but my clumsy fat
fingers made a typo?

59

No, that would be the double check script:

I see. So what does this Ignore thing do? Will it just make Wanikani ignore the answer and then ask the question again at some later point?
