I think what would be more helpful here (at least in the short term, without changing the underlying structure) would be simply for the item info of radicals to effectively work the same as kanji, but just with a special name and color.\[1\] By that I mean, it never made sense to me why radicals don’t show the components like the kanji do. Even when their component radicals are listed in the description, there’s no section with a visual representation of them, nor are there any links to follow that can take you to them. That would be very helpful when solidifying various links in memory. * * * 1. And, obviously, the “Found In Kanji” section would need to be kept the same, rather than being turned into the “Found In Vocabulary” section. And the “Reading” and “Meaning” sections could be left out…etc. Anyway, I was just offering another way of looking at it. Whichever is easier to implement is all that really matters. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.wanikani.com/t/this-radical-is-the-same-as-the-kanji/68373)._
