[Userscript] Prevent "Your answer was a bit off" answers from being accepted a.k.a. "Close But No Cigar"

beetlejuice321 said... This sounds great, but could I get some assistance installing the script? Using Firefox I get the following error.

Could not parse script error.
Specifically "Ignoring @ match pattern http*://www.wanikani.com/review/session* because: Error: @ match: Could not parse the pattern., Ignoring @match

Ah, I see what you're saying. Perhaps my suggestion was a bit naive? It would be easy enough to add additional matches for http://www.wanikani.com/lesson/session* and http://www.wanikani.com/review/session* I think, however. If that asterisk was somehow the issue.

Thanks for posting this, it would be helpful.

However can you tell me how to install the script? I tried with Firefox and I get message “Error: @match: Could not parse the pattern.”

SpicyTako321 · February 17, 2015, 10:07pm

However I am able to install other scripts on GreasFork.org just fine.

I think I fixed the problem, update to 0.7 and tell me if it works now.

This is great script, thanks for sharing it.

I did get this interesting thing on a lesson quiz: (Firefox 35.0.1, Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon 64-bit)

In my local copy I changed the regex from [oku]{1,2}n’yomi to [a-zA-Z’]+ and it now displays the try again message in the lesson quiz. I don’t know if changing this will mess something else up, but it seems ok so far.

Thanks again for the script, it has saved me the palava of deliberately failing false correct answers next time round or adding fake synonyms to get it to come back in the same session.

Nice, I'll probably add that to the next update, I thought that it always returned kun'yomi for anything that didn't match "on'yomi" (including 'undefined') so I tried to regex as tightly as possible. I suppose that is not the case, at least in lessons. I don't see how this would mess anything up and thanks for the feedback.

And if WaniKani really is looking for an undefined reading, good luck! Methinks it will be looking for some time. :P

Hey! Just came in to request one thing…

I love this script, though it can get a little annoying sometimes when I try to spell out things like “achievement”.
I know how to spell words like that, though I’m used to spell checker helping me out
So, my request is to be able to set a maximum word length to which this script applies. That’d be wonderful ^-^
Thanks!

Request denied!
:P

the nature of the code is a catch all for answers wanikani considers close.
I wrap the function in my filthy code and then pass it off as said function for all the times it's called.
What your asking will require far more complex programming for very little gain. If want it to accept typos, you can always enter them as user synonyms.

Ethan · February 26, 2015, 1:55pm

Besides, it makes you a better speller.
i could make it so that close answers are marked incorrect but thought that would be a little too cruel, I might make it an option.

Still doesn’t work with Firefox (37.0.2, Greasemonkey 3.1):

Yeah same problem here- would be grateful for a working link.

Give me a minute, the '@match's need to be changed to '@include's

EDIT: Fixed, sorry about that.

Zephyte · May 9, 2015, 8:44pm

Thanks a bunch for your quick aid

baerrach · May 21, 2015, 5:38am

I’ve avoided installing scripts because I could be doing reviews on any of three places.

But this script is great! I want this as a native option.

kaiken · February 18, 2016, 3:28pm

Thank you! This will probably get me some more errors in the short term as I figure out which cards I need synonyms for… but I keep getting “to join” correct when I write “to suit” like an idiot and it keeps marking me correct, so I really appreciate this. X_x

@Ethan If you are still around, please consider renaming the topic to “Close but no cigar” since that’s how people know it anyways and now it’s impossible to find with the search function. Making a detour via Shotty’s API list to find this topic shouldn’t be necessary.

Ethan · May 18, 2017, 11:46pm

Looks like @plantron beat me to it.

polv · July 21, 2017, 7:49am

Number one script for improving your English (spelling).

polv · November 30, 2017, 10:05am

Is the script broken? No cigar word seems to be accepted.

Oh, (Obsolete) [UserScript] WaniKani Double Check - #72 by rfindley 2.0.x seems to break the script, i.e. incompatible.

polv · December 6, 2017, 2:30pm

No Cigar can be activated in Double Check 2.0 simply by

(Obsolete) [UserScript] WaniKani Double Check

Start by adding an option at the top of the script:

	// Shake when slightly off.
	shake_when_slightly_off: 1,

[...]

Then in the ‘first_submit’ section, change the set_answer_state() call to:

	// Close but no cigar
	if  (answer.passed && !answer.accurate && settings.shake_when_slightly_off) {
		answer.exception = true;
        state = 'first_submit';
    }
	set_answer_state(answer, true /* show_msgs */);
