WaniKani Bulk Add Kanji User Synonyms

Description

This WaniKani script automatically adds user synonyms to all your unlocked kanji using meaning synonyms collected from Jim Breen’s WWWJDIC database.

If you have any pre-existing user synonyms, the script attempts to preserve them. However, WaniKani only allows a maximum of 8 user synonyms per kanji. Any more synonyms beyond that are ignored by the script.

Requirements

Tampermonkey

Installation

  1. Install @rfindley 's WaniKani Open Framework according to these instructions.
  2. Install this script from Greasyfork at WaniKani Bulk Add Kanji User Synonyms

Usage

Navigate to your dashboard (i.e. either https://www.wanikani.com/ or https://www.wanikani.com/dashboard) and the script will automatically update your user synonyms.

Debugging

You can set DISABLE_ALL_LOGGING to false and open your browser console to see what the script is doing.

Here is the console output, when I ran this on my account at WaniKani level 19.

Marking this script as outdated in the list as it seems it is not working for people
