april 2019 … we had such a thing… (specifically apr 28 2019)
maybe wk is finally going to implement a leech management system after all these years of requests and somehow it’s going to be integrated into this new supposed summary page…these things take time… eto…eto…
thankfully kitsun has a a summary page
and marumori … and renshuu even!
There was a post the other day, that there currently is no developer on the team at the moment? I guess it will be just a little while more…
another 19 days…will wait for @MinaCaesar to freeze something
the summary page moved to brazil for the love of forro
Haha I wish
yup, I also doubt there is any development being done the wanikani team… its a shame, the site has still so much room for improvement. its sad
i was level 7 when you shot and killed summary page and just hit 60
i still think you made you a mistake not bringing it back
It was basically the only feature they had over Anki. Still no idea why they did it as the platform didn’t actually change
In WK’s defense, I’ve used both and WK’s value lies in their proprietary content that surrounds the SRS mechanics. Sure, you can study kanji with any number of Anki decks, but WK’s method of presentation through color, mnemonics, presentation order and accessory content is what makes it valuable. The typical Anki deck doesn’t really hold a candle to the entire WK package.
That said, yeah, I agree that the review summary would be nice to have back in some form, but remember that the review summary disappeared at the same time that session timeouts disappeared. Which makes the concept of a review session somewhat fungible. And if a session itself is fungible, then it becomes difficult to define what a summary actually is.
hey so how’s this going lol
Seriously though I really need this back. It’s ridiculous we’ve gone this long without it, and yes obviously I’ve survived, so no need to point out that I don’t “NEED” it, but it’s an extremely useful feature and I would really, really, REALLY like it back.
PLEASE.
…any day now!
At least we have extensions to supply a summary of reviews.
New homepage, still no summary pages.
I am around >90% burn now, and I start to wonder if we will have our summary page back before I burn all the items.
LOL, so this topic just poped-up and such a lovely comments from years ago:

Fair warning: it’s more than possible I’m in my cups and just looking for a fight.
I made it through without once paying ANY attention to the summary page. That absolutely doesn’t mean it wasn’t useful, and I know full well that removing a feature never bodes well (especially when promising it will return), but I’m genuinely curious: what PRECISELY about the summary page was so adored? How did people use it for their studies?
My worry is that the need isn’t articulated accurately enough, so that even if it returns it will be in a form that’s useless to the primary users.
Sorry, I can’t help it. I’m an ex-PM. Bitching and memes were rarely helpful, but concrete, specific, measurable feedback on how a feature was used was easier to, uh, encourage devs to act on.
“EVERYONE HATES THAT WE REMOVED IT – LOOK AT THE SCREECHING” tended to make devs dig in, in my experience. In the devs defense, a “vocal minority” really is a thing. I had to scroll back to June of 2024 in this thread to find any “actionable” feedback.
To be completely fair though…The thread itself is from a year before that and its not an official thread on the removal of the the summary page. Its an update thread about the future possibility of a replacement.
In the OP they said
From past thread(s) where this was already discussed.
Looking a couple years down on an update thread on the teams reception of criticisms on the removal of a feature and then criticizing people for not being clear enough in their feedback seems pretty unfair to me.
but I’m genuinely curious: what PRECISELY about the summary page was so adored? How did people use it for their studies?
I know there is plugin to bring back summary page, but I am on public computer and mobile a lot, and plugin is not an acceptable solution for that.

The actionable feedback is very clear: bring the summary page back.
Most user are not devs and have no idea what’s going on inside the company. There is no way we can provide intermediate steps. Considering there are already devs writing plugin to bring that back, I think this is very actionable already and need no more break down. (and they are encouraged enough to write a plugin) Just talk to those devs writing those plugin and ask for permission to include those codes into the official code base?
Let’s flip that on the head: "devs removed it without giving any “helpful, but concrete, specific, measurable reason” for the removal and what’s more - they promised to bring it back “shortly”-ish (which was years ago).
Right now people are not “SCREECHING”, more likely just making fun about whole thing and how it was carried out.
As for the reasons - it was just a helpful feedback information that allowed you to review what was wrong. Is it essential? Not at all, but then again WaniKani is neither… well, apart from water and some food nothing is really “essentia” but let’s not get to philosophical ![]()
You almost certainly will burn everything (holy moly, preemptive congrats by the way) before we do a new summary page.
But, could you get mostly what you want from the summary page via a handful of widgets?
Here is the summary page movie remake version:
We stopped considering review sessions as separate “sessions” back when we removed the page, so we can’t really show data in terms of review sessions anymore, but I’d think that the “today” time period widgets does something similar now? Maybe?

If I haven’t reached lv.60, I would say the correct review percentage would be useful. However, now I am missing the summary page mainly when I am reviewing my recent mistake. I use the accuracy of that session to determine if I should do it again, aiming at 95%.

I understand that technically you have stop treating review sessions as “session”. (As I understand, it means if you close the tab when doing the review, it will restart from 0, right?) But you still have that percentage at the top right corner in the current interface. Can’t we just have an extra page showing that percentage at the top right corner at the end?
That said, with that widget showing the daily correct rate, I would say some user would be satisfied, making it a lower priority feature, so I understand I probably won’t get it back before I burn all the items. Afterall, WaniKani is still good enough that I am still using it.
At the end of a session, in a notebook, I would log my percentages. Any mistakes would be written out by hand. It was easy to look back over the course of a week and see which items were reoccurring. Not only that, but the items I learned during this time and forced myself to write out seem to have been burned deeper into my long term memory.
Plus I just liked seeing the final results of my review session, there in front of me. Here’s what you got right, here’s what you got wrong, here’s what got burned. I log my percentages and burns in a digital study log nowadays, but I have to manually tally my burns 1 by 1 as they happen, and I have to log the final grade before I accidentally hit the final enter.
(BTW I love the new homepage and widgets)
