[Userscript] WaniKani Links

:warning: This is a third-party script/app and is not created by the WaniKani team. By using this, you understand that it can stop working at any time or be discontinued indefinitely.

Made for myself, but thought I’d share.  Sometimes after I get something wrong, I want to get more info on it, so now its easier.
Simple script that adds links to Jisho and the WK info page itself, to the reviews.  Click the item in question, and a popup gives you the links.  Pretty ugly right now, but it does the job.

Update: 01/05/26 7 years, 2 months, and 10 days since the last update.

  • Completely rewritten, and made overly complex.
  • Looks nicer
  • Has options. Can toggle on or off available links. Don’t include the ones you don’t care about.

Got ideas for more links to include? Feel free to let me know


Want to send me a tip? I don’t expect you to, but if you wanted to, I wouldn’t complain. Ko-fi

You might be interested in this one, too:

Coincidentally I started working on something like this last weekend and was gonna finish it this weekend, but seems like you beat me to it.

Finished it anyway. Mine has some more cosmetics and is embedded in the info pages.

Interesting.

I have always been using this chrome plugin to be able to do something similar.
This lets you search the highlighted text on jisho or wanikani (if it’s available there).

 I had a feeling I'd be reinventing the wheel.  Actually thought about putting links in the context menu, but decided against it to keep unrelated stuff out of the way.

 Nice and clean.

If I am using Chrome, the extension would probably be nice as well.

I installed both the scripts. One is handy to just click the item at the top and go to its page, quicker than opening info and clicking the link there. But the other script is nice and I like the way the links are added to the info section and are styled nicely.

Maybe I’ll add the extension at some point too :smiley:

You should have this on the main list of scripts, it’s very useful.

Still works and is exactly what I wanted. Thanks again!

@DaisukeJigen @sonarius Hello, Jigen I tried to use your script but it didn’t work. I played about with it and it seems to be working for me now. I’m not sure how you maintain the your information or handle requests for greasyfork.

Oh man, this is an oldie. I haven’t looked at or thought about this one in years.
I can take a look at it when I get a chance. If its working sometimes and not others, my first guess would be those damned turbo events WaniKani started using a while back.

Is there way I could share with you the changes I have? It working now, but I did vibe coding, so I don’t fully understand the changes I made.

I actually decided to just start from scratch, and over-engineer the entire thing. Why make small and simple bit of code when you can go nuts? :woozy_face:

I’ve got its mostly working as it did before, as far as the end user is concerned. I just need to make it look a little nicer, and make the options actually affect things. (right now just choosing which links you want in the popover)

Then, after I get the new version published, I have some additional ideas.

Version 1.0 is out. Still more to do, but it’s working.

It does suffer from a bug that some of my other scripts have. It may or may not work on the first question. Works fine for all the rest, just the first is problematic.
