Obsolete
tl;dr Use [Double-Check] instead. You can disable all of Double-Check’s features except Mistake Delay.
This script is no longer supported, but it has been integrated into [Double-Check]. If you only want Mistake Delay, simply install Double-Check’s, then go into the script’s settings and disable all of the features except Mistake Delay. Your experience will be exactly the same as if you only had Mistake Delay installed.
The reason for discontinuing Mistake Delay as a standalone script:
Double-Check and Mistake Delay modify the same parts of Wanikani’s interface, which makes them incompatible. So, it became necessary to integrate a version of Mistake Delay into Double-Check for those users that wanted to use both. But the version of Mistake Delay inside Double-Check had to be implemented very differently, so maintaining both versions would be twice as much work. And since people who only want Mistake Delay can simply use Double-Check with the unwanted features disabled, that seemed like the obvious and best solution.
Wanikani Mistake Delay
For you speed-demon reviewers who are in the habit of double-tapping the <enter> key after a correct answer so you can quickly move on to the next item…
…but sometimes you accidentally double-tap after a wrong answer, which prevents you from seeing what you did wrong.
This script prevents the double-tap for 2 seconds when you answer incorrectly.

Settings
There are several settings you can change near the top of the script:
//==[ Settings ]=====================================================
var settings = {
// Amount of time to delay (in milliseconds).
delay_period: 2000,
// Delay when answer is slightly off (e.g. minor typo).
delay_slightly_off: 1,
// Delay when multiple answers are available.
delay_multiple: 1
};
//===================================================================

The original concept for this script comes from @ruipgpinheiro in this thread.
(in a platonic way).
I wonder if I fixed it on Double-Check (which contains mistake-delay), but not on this script. Either way… I’ll check it out)
