Just in case anyone else is interested in the same thing, I thought I’d document the two potential solutions that @NicoleIsEnough and @prouleau suggested, as well as better explain what I’m after.

> **Proposed solutions to get the data**

> ### Using Wkstats
> 
> First, provide an API key to [https://wkstats.com](https://wkstats.com).
> 
> Navigate to Items → Wanikani, then configure as follows:

> 
> This clearly shows I have 12 “ascending” items in my lesson queue (all vocabulary) before I start seeing the radicals and kanji on level 43.
> 
> ### Using the Item Inspector
> 
> First, install the [Item Inspector](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-item-inspector/44564).
> 
> Click the gear icon, then the **Tables** tab, then **New** , change the name to “Ascending Lessons”, then set the **Table Data Element** to be what every you want (I chose to display the meaning because I’m more likely to know the reading — as much as that still amazes me):

> **My desired solution**

> While both of these suffice for my needs, I’m more interested in the _number_ of ascending items than in what those items are (I’ll see them when I do my reviews).

> Basically, I’d like to estimate when I’ll _really_ start the next level. To my way of thinking, you haven’t “leveled up” until you start doing lessons for the new level. I’ve sometimes spent a week or more finishing up vocabulary lessons for the prior level after “leveling up”.

Edit: here’s [a patch](https://community.wanikani.com/t/userscript-wanikani-lesson-hover-details/29312/54) to Lesson Hover Details that does what I’m looking for.

Edit 2: I had a linguistic misunderstanding with _English_ for a change.

The WK default user preference for lesson ordering is “ascending level, then subject”. I was interpreting “ascending level” as meaning the specific level you’d just exited. What they really meant was that the default sorted the lessons by level (in ascending order) first, then by subject (radicals/kanji, then vocab using those items).

The data above is correct and meaningful, but I’ve replaced the word “ascending” with “previous level” (abbreviated for space).
