The stage names and their colours made it so much more fun for me, just sayin’…
What I would really like (totally offtopic haha) if when you reach lvl 60, you can add your own vocabulary or kanji. I don’t like using Anki. But I like using WK and how great would it be if you could add some extra ‘cards’

Does this make leeches possible by the anki definition?
There are some vocab words that while I’m sure are very useful, just won’t stick in Wanikani, and I will systematically get them wrong by the time they’re Gurued or Mastered. All that goes away when I encounter them in reading contexts but I still have level 10+ words that I keep repeating mistakes on. I end up ignoring them with the double check extension anyway so might as well implement that.
I wouldn’t apply this to radicals or kanji, seeing as they’re the building blocks of the vocab.

Yes! There are times when I see a kanji and it’s almost foreign to me but when I go to its page to unburn it i see that its at enlightened…

@viet Will there still be colours* for stage categories (Started/Passed/Burned) on the dashboard?
*What’s that? You noticed the non-American spelling? Too bad, I wrote this on my computer which autocorrects British, not my phone which autocorrects English to the American spelling!

No. At least not on a personalized level. The SRS system is fixed on a per-subject basis, and everybody gets the same timings. No customization.

Not sure where else to post, this but are lessons not functioning properly for anyone else?
Whenever I try to answer, I get taken to WaniKani — Log in[the answer I typed], and I’m prompted to “preview” all the lessons again instead of actually making any progress. Tried to do the new lessons from the iOS Tsurukame app, but it doesn’t even see them yet.
This is caused by a number of scripts (because WK changed something). You can find more information here: Can't input answers in lessons

Thanks, just did the lessons in a different browser rather than fuss with any scripts 
Any idea how new the new kanji are? Wondering how long they’ve been sitting unnoticed in my lessons pile
Do you mean those? Not very old then

I really don’t like the idea of getting rid of the stage names. I don’t understand or care about any of the API stuff so maybe someone can explain that to me but getting rid of the stage names feels like fixing something that isn’t broken.

Actually it’s less about fixing something but more about removing something that will not fit any more, after the new API changes have been put in place.

I am curious what the point of “interval_unit” in the stage entries is. Can’t one expect “interval” to always be in seconds or null?
Also “position” in a list seems a bit odd to me. Will they ever be out of order?
Yes, there is the possibility of other units. But this is more for the sake of being explicit. Usually developers work in ms or s.
Again, for the sake of explicitness. I wouldn’t 100% rely on an Array given to me to be ordered. And what happens when you start manipulating the Array or start plucking the objects out of the Array. You can lose the ordering details easily. Having built into the object preserves the details without having to jumping through hoops to try and wrangle it out. The position also acts like a title.

Am I extrapolating if I’m thinking you are doing this massive change in your API in order for it to work with… EtoEto ?!

Right? I’m well aware that the whole API thing might be more important than just eliminating the stage names but everything is in the details and for me is what makes WK different from other SRS applications. Changing the names for just a generic number doesn’t feel right for me.

I know what you mean. There should definitely be, and probably will be with some not currently existing userscript, an option in the user settings somewhere for custom categories per SRS system (e.g. Guru-Master even if need be…)
The Open Framework should be updated to do that. This way the new naming would be consistent across scripts.
