Review burned item and unburn

Hi

I’ve hit level 60 and burned around 8500 items around 5 years ago. Since then, I read books etc. but obviously not enough to not forgot several kanjis and vocab (how much ? I don’t know). When I go into the burn items review section, I can only see that indeed, I forgot many.

My ideal strategy would be to review burned items:

  • if I got it right, it stays burned, and don’t come back in the review pile.
  • if I got it wrong, it is unburned and goes back in the real review pile (like guru for instance).

Is there a way to do that ?

It’s possible to manually resurrect one and one item, but it’s not possible to choose the item’s progression, it goes back to Apprentice 1 (it’s also possible to undo the resurrection which makes the item go back to Burned). There used to be the Burn Manager script, but it’s broken and not maintained anymore. Not sure if there are any other convenient scripts around doing the same thing.

@polv might know something.

I personally use JPDB to review vocab, even WK vocab if I come across it while reading.

I don’t know actually.

I didn’t check as well whether this one is still working, or any quick fix to make it work.

If no user script is working, I would check if it’s possible with API. Or in worst case, browser automation. Those are technically programming.

You can’t “unburn” items with the API, unfortunately. You have to go through the web interface.

Supposedly 'https://www.wanikani.com/assignments/'+ref+'/'+(want?'burn':'resurrect') according to the Burn Manager script, but I am not sure if it’s still a valid endpoint.
