WaniKani styling for Anki

[rotator]

I’ve recently started using Anki for Genki vocab and found a great deck for the 3rd edition that has all the vocab plus sounds. However, I quickly realized I missed the WK style of learning (specifically kanji → reading and kanji → meaning) and wanted to find a way to replicate it in Anki without having to duplicate, add to, or subtract from the cards I had already downloaded (there aren’t a lot of options for the 3rd edition yet). I’ve seen others have the same issue, so figured I would post how I’ve formatted my cards.

Obviously, this formatting is specifically for this deck, but I would imagine it would be helpful to someone who is making their own deck or editing another one to feel more like WK.

Basically what this does:
From Japanese

• Shows kanji and makes you type in the reading and meaning (both on the same card)
• Shows kana words and makes you type in the meaning
  It will hide kana if kanji is present, but shows it if it is a kana-only word

From English

• Shows English word and makes you type in kana reading (will show kanji if applicable)

I think the only other thing I changed from the OG cards was that I deleted a field called kanji meaning because I didn’t find it particularly helpful for my studies, but I think this would look almost the same if you left that field in the deck/on the cards.

Sorry if this is a duplicated topic (seemed like the other threads on this had closed) but I hope this is helpful to someone!

Nice! Just in case someone wants Anki to look like WK as well, I thought I’d link this here:

Neat!
A tip, though: put your templates in code blocks using triple backticks
