# WaniKani Bulk Add Kanji User Synonyms ![house](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/3X/2/c/2cb2a2858c33e64f930871036043fc15e9f0d663.png) ## Description This [WaniKani](https://www.wanikani.com) script automatically adds user synonyms to all your unlocked kanji using meaning synonyms collected from Jim Breen’s [WWWJDIC](http://nihongo.monash.edu/cgi-bin/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](http://tampermonkey.net/) ## Installation 1. Install @rfindley 's WaniKani Open Framework according to [these instructions](https://github.com/rfindley/wanikani-open-framework#installation). 2. Install this script from Greasyfork at [WaniKani Bulk Add Kanji User Synonyms](https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/39692-wanikani-bulk-add-kanji-user-synonyms) ## Usage Navigate to your dashboard (i.e. either [https://www.wanikani.com/](https://www.wanikani.com/) or [https://www.wanikani.com/dashboard](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](https://github.com/normful/wanikani-bulk-add-kanji-user-synonyms/blob/master/output.txt) is the console output, when I ran this on my account at WaniKani level 19. ## Changelog - 1.0.0: Initial release - 1.0.1: Default to not log anything - 1.0.2: Fix handling of ampersands in WWWJDIC synonyms - 1.0.3: Redirect to forum page if wkof is not installed. - 1.0.4: Update description - 1.0.5: Update script metadata - 1.0.6: Tweak WKOF user installation prompt code ---
