I mean, the simplest solution here would be to script a quick exporter tool to convert burned items to an Anki deck. Run it once a month, adding new cards to your existing Anki deck. Set the ease and whatnot accordingly to get intervals according to your preference, and you’re done. You could even just pop on the WK theme for Anki if you felt like it.
Most other solutions are going to be super brittle or will never be allowed by the API, so IMO going external is the best bet. Given that you’re looking at 6 month intervals, you won’t even need to check Anki very often, so the added overhead is pretty minimal.
Also, opinionated, but, there’s no point to reviewing items every 6 months. Partly because you would be reviewing every single day of your life probably, because of the large amount of items, and partly because “burn” doesn’t mean you should remember that forever like cycling (relevant video here), but that under normal circumstances if you do use the language, you will meet those words often enough that you shouldn’t forget them. Also, another part about wk vocabs being mostly for practicing kanji, that’s why they get chosen based on readings yada yada ya, doesn’t matter really.
What I was thinking is that, since your script provides a list of items to review, it would be very easy to adapt it to the use case here. Basically, most of the heavy lifting (adding custom reviews) has been done.
I agree with that, but I also think OP should able to do it anyway if that’s their wish.
Well, to be fair, the solution that was an answer to was pretty involved.
Using @Gorbit99 script seems much easier.
But it is more than one click, so it might not be good enough yet.
So I’m in a similar boat to you (except I already hit 60 once).
I know folks are snarky about moving on to reading, but I’ve read more than a few books in Japanese. Unfortunately some kanji / words are not as common as others, yet I’d still like to know them well.
So I recently reset from 60 to 1 so I could start reviewing and strengthening my grasp of the language and it’s nuances.
But eventually I’m going to start burning things again, so I think I’ll look into this. I’ll let you know if I come up with a solution.
Use a more difficult quiz? e.g. move on to Anki and quiz on more Jukugo, then (manually) reset progress of Kanji cards if related Jukugos fail. Otherwise, more difficult passing criteria, probably with Double Check / Anki Mode.
Double Check has burn warning as well, but not sure if you want this.
About Wanikani, it doesn’t allow dumping an item back to SRS 0 if you haven’t burned it yet, so resetting Wanikani also disable this (but resurrecting doesn’t).
I really do wish there was something like this built into the site. Any automatic or user-friendly option to regularly review items on longer timescales without needing a script or external program. If there was a way to vote for this as a requested feature then I give my +1, a million times over.
I agree, this would be a fantastic feature. I’ve been a WK member a long time, and usually when I reach a higher level and I’ve found I’ve forgotten most things past, I just reset and do them again. Achieves the same thing, but really is the long route.
KaniWani has this feature in the user options and it’s awesome.
