I realized that either changing from failed last review to leeches in item inspector, maintaining no temporary filter and no view no report it always shows in self study quiz window 66 remaining.
Using another script (leech list unburnable edit ) to show how many leeches, right now it should be 158 leeches.
How can I change any setting in item inspector so I can practice the quiz with them?
I donât know how your other script select leeches so I canât tell which settings you should use.
For information Under tables, select Leeches and the go to the Filters tab. There you will find the settings for leeches.
First off, this script is rapidly becoming one of my absolute favorites. Iâm blown away by all youâve created here. This script is the WK equivalent of a swiss-army knife!
But Iâve learned that if you donât ask. you donât learn (and you rarely get treats). 
Iâve gradually evolved a daily study routine where I use the item inspector to pre-review items that are still in the Apprentice1 and Apprentice2 stages before starting my real WK review session.
I do this because slacker-me canât be bothered to do my reviews more than once per day, but brand-new, unfamiliar items of course need several reviews before they even begin to âstick.â
I actually filter for just radicals and kanji, excluding vocabulary items, because if I canât answer vocabulary questions even with the additional context, I feel I should fail those items during the ârealâ WK review session.
If I did reviews often enough to âcatchâ the 4-hour and 8-hour reviews this wouldnât be as useful, but I havenât had that kind of energy since the eighties.
Itâs easy enough to create a table list that filters and displays only the Apprentice1 and Apprentice2 items (my bad eyes definitely prefer the âList of iconsâ view):
Itâs also easy to click on the computer screen icon to run a self-study quiz and then choose âJapanese to Englishâ to start my desired âout-of-bandâ review that most closely resembles a real WK review.
When I canât remember the correct answer during the quiz, I can easily type F1 or click the question-mark icon.
This configuration of a self-study quiz is very close to the âpre-reviewâ Iâm after.
Thereâs only one more thing I could wish for: Iâd really like an easy way to open a new window (or pop-up, or tab) with the full Wanikani explanation for that item:
Sometimes itâs very helpful during this âpre-reviewâ to refresh my memory with everything I saw during the lesson.
Is there an easy way for me to get a link to the WK page while still in the context of the self-study quiz?
For now, Iâm copy-and-pasting the character into the search bar of a new Wanikani-dashboard tab in my browser. That works, but itâs enough steps to be annoying.
Is there an easier way to get to the desired WK page?
Thanks for even reading this far! I hope the question/request makes sense.
I would definitely like to have such an easy way to do this. The catch is Item Inspector is calling the original Self-Study Quiz by @rfindley so this code is not managed by me. I am redirecting this request to @rfindley.
I think adding a link to WK item page with target=â_blankâ to avoid overwriting the ss_quiz dialog should do the trick.

Hello! This tool has been incredibly helpful in porting WK items over to excel so I can more easily compare/contrast different items. I am a visual/spreadsheet sort of learner, and I was hand-jamming all items into excel as I learned them until I found I could export the entire database to .CSV using this tool. You saved me a ton of time and grief!
I have been on hiatus from WK for about a year, but wanted to start up again, and find it hard to do so without my spreadsheets. I also havenât exported in about a year and figured I should probably work on updating my spreadsheets since there have been some updates to the site. However when I try to export, Iâve found there are two particular columns that the Inspector no longer likes to export (yes I made sure my inspector is up to date). The first is the âReading by Type (on kun)â and the second is âStroke Count.â I could live without the stroke count, but the âreading by typeâ is critical to my method of study. I have gone through all the settings and exported all the columns individually and in groups in order to determine these are the two items that literally wonât export (when I hit the âexport to .csvâ button, if either are listed as an export column, nothing happens). Help! >.<
In addition to the bug report above, I wanted to ask a request. Is there any way to have separate exports for WK onâyomi and kunâyomi, especially for kanji? Since there is currently only one export for ALL readings, and another export for ALL readings by type (which, when working, merged everything together into one cell), it has been incredibly frustrating trying to find a logical way to break these out into their own sections via excel power queries. I end up just doing it by hand half the time. I would also love to have an export for âprimary reading typeâ if able, for kanji at least. I am not sure how WaniKani stores their information, but they always show a section with the onâyomi and a section with the kunâyomi separately (and nanori), as well as highlighting whichever is primary, so I was hoping that maybe they stored the info in the same way.
Iâm just trying to find a way via the inspector and power queries to future-proof my spreadsheetsâŠideally by exporting via the inspector whenever WK updates the site, and using the queries to break everything into their respective columns all pretty-like, without having to update all my hand-jammed items all over again. Although Iâll probably have to do some of that anyway, because I have started including the one/two-word mnemonics like âJourmâ and âShougunâ so that I have another way to sort my data, and I know WK only lists that info in paragraph format.
Anyway, thanks for any help!

Thanks for the lengthy report. I will take a look on these issues. It may take a while though.
I dont remember if I have asked in this thread 
I want to know if I can compare two kanji to be side by side so I can see right away the difference
I see that my latest reviews I keep confusing kanji in the vocab for âquitâ with the one in âretireâ. And the niai doesnt show them, but for me they are similar somehow.
Any option or config I can do this?
The closest you can get is the following:
Select the All Learned Items table. This will restrict your search to the items for which you had a lesson.
Make sure you are in list mode with the concentric circles button. This will make sure items are displayed big enough to be compared visually.
Pick the Global Search filter in the Temporary Filters dropdown. Type in the search term for your kanjis separated by commas.
This will bring up all items that are responsive to the search. The ones you want are in the list and they are close enough to be compared as if they were side by side.

Version 1.21.0 is out - Please download it at the link in the top post.
This version addresses a number of issues including those reported by @mysticfirecat
-
Some of the data used by Item Inspector has been updated to address the new items added to Wanikani. The updates target
- The stroke order diagrams
- The stroke count data
- The Reading by type data
Bugs resulting from incomplete data are now resolved.
-
New information for table entries and export columns are now available.
- Readings onyomi
- Readings kunyomi
- Readings nanori
This information is available for kanji only. For vocabulary you need to use Reading by Type.

The Leech Training Emulation function has been reworked to fix several bugs that plagued it. The semantics of the Size Of Training Selection parameter has been changed. Previously this parameter covered the entire size including base items and visually similar items for them. Now only the base items are counted. Visually similar items are added on top of them.
This is perfect, thank you! The only thing it doesnât address is the primary reading/type, but I can interpolate that by separating the first reading from the âreadings by type (on kun)â via delimiters, since the first one is always primary. The bigger PITA was trying to break that entire list into sub-lists based on typeâŠand now I donât have to!
Thanks so much for the quick bug fix, and especially for adding these extra exports. Quick work too!

A tip: the Reading Brief info return the first primary reading found. I am not sure if there are cases where more than one primary reading exists.
Version 1.21.1 is now available - Please update it at the link in the top post.
This version repairs a pair of issues.
-
The Reading Brief information is updated to display all primary readings of an item, not just the first one. This should address the issue raised by @mysticfirecat

Solves a bug in leech trainer emulation that caused some items not to be displayed when they should.
I have a question about exporting to csv. So hereâs my set-up:
Under Settings > Tables > Table Settings > Export I have the following Exported Columns:
Column 1 Item
Column 2 Reading Full
Column 3 Meaning Full
Within the resulting file, if the item has more than one reading, a column will contain a mix of readings and meanings:
What export settings should I use so that the meanings and readings will not be on the same column? Thanks.
With a properly working setup the expected output is to have all readings in the same columns separated by commas and all meanings in the same column separated by commas.
Item Inspector does not attempt to place individual readings and meanings in separate columns.
Which separator are you using? Item Inspector and your spreadsheet should be set up to match their separators. If they donât match incorrect output like this may happen.
The default separator for Item Inspector is horizontal tabs. If you set up your spreadsheet to use this you shouldnât have this problem.
Your output looks like you may be using commas as the separator. If you use commas as separator you must request quotes to be either âOnly When Neededâ or âAlways Use Quotesâ in Item Inspector and set up your spreadsheet to use double quotes to delimit text fields.

My initial settings were Horizontal tab with no quotes (the default setting afaik). Setting it to Commas with âonly when neededâ quotes fixed the issue. Thank you.
