Radicals introduced after having learned the Kanji - Should still include that Kanji in the "Found In Kanji" section

Example:
Kanji: 売 - Sell is learned in Lv. 9.
Radical 売 - Sell is learned in Lv.10.

Why it’s done in that order could be it’s own topic.
But when looking at the 売 radical page it doesn’t even include it’s own Kanji 売 in the “found in section”. I was really confused by this, cause I knew there was also a Sell Kanji, had to look it up using the search bar…

Now that i’m in Lv. 21. same can be said for radical 半 Half, 番 Number, and 次 next.
All their associated kanji’s are not in the “found in Kanji” section.

Unlike radicals learned before their associated kanji.
Example Lv. 9 Radical 辛 Spicy & (my current level) Lv.21 斉 Simulations

I’m guessing this error is also found in many other radicals pages.
It’s not a complaint. I love WaniKani
Just wanted to get this under the attention. As it could be a minor coding mistake or something.

It’s not an error, it’s a feature. The “found in kanji” list shows only the kanji that use that specific radical as a mnemonic component when being taught - the mnemonic components for 売-as-a-kanji are “samurai”, “forehead” and “legs”, thus it does not contain the “buy” radical, despite being visibly identical.

Kanji are frequently re-introduced later as new radicals for the purposes of simplifying later mnemonics, but the new radicals are considered as separate mnemonic components.

That’s a good explanation. but why not add them in both then?
