What do you want now? (Request extensions here)

Is there a user script, that reschedules reviews based on their current stage? Ideally, I would like to have reviews on a stage other than Apprentice 1 and 2 to always appear at the same time of day. Right now, I have the following problem: If I don’t find time for my usual evening review (8 pm), I have to postpone it for a few hours. I the review is at 11pm instead, this item appears again on another day at 10 pm, so I miss it that evening. The day after, I do lessons in the morning (8 am). Now the 4h-review at noon also contains the items I missed the evening before. These items now tend to stick to the time at noon and I can’t get them back to the evening review session without skipping lessons for a day. However, I do not want these advanced items to clutter the noon review as I don’t have that much time at noon.

Does anybody know a userscript that forces the advanced items to stay in the evening slot?

The SRS works by having specific intervals based on the stage the item is in. It is not possible to have a review appear earlier than this interval, but that doesn’t seem to be what you’re asking for. Basically, the review will become available at it’s specific time. Since it seems like your issue is that you don’t want to have to do these items at the same time as the others, then your solution is reordering.

Reorder Omega will allow you to reorder the review queue such that it only contains items that fit the criteria you specify in the presets. For example, I have a preset for “Apprentice Only” that gets only my current Apprentice items then sorts them by SRS stage (ascending). I have another that’s “All Apprentice items & 20 each from the remaining stages” where the Apprentice portion is sorted by SRS stage, the Guru by Leech Score, and the Master and Enlightened by Overdue date. You should be able to make a preset that does what you want, and if you’re having trouble with it you can ask in the Omega thread for assistance and I (or someone else) should be able to help.

I’d like to request an extension that reads out the English definition of vocab. I like being able to listen to the Japanese word followed by the English definition when they read out the vocab in the audio files for the Genki textbooks bc it helps couple the words in my mind so it could be helpful here too.

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there is a minimized Lesson panel. I feel like the lesson content is stretched, hides information and makes it hard to focus on what matters.

  1. Kanji composition tab: There are a lot of words there, but they are always the same, right? Either list radicals or list kanji, just that row could be extracted and moved to another tab. No other text needed.

  2. Meaning tab: the Word type is just a tag, doing what is done at jisho this could be written just in a smaller or grayed font somewhere in another tab. ‘Word Type’ title takes more space than the actual type info.

Meaning Explanation. This is the core of Wani Kani, that’s fine I think. But there may be a few filler sentences like “This is a single kanji with an い on the end, meaning you know it’s probably an adjective.”. Similar for verb. This could be turned into a small tag or just the Word Type makes it obvious and no need to this. Make it a tip on hover the word type info.

Now Meaning Notes and User Synonyms take a lot of space. In my case these are empty most of the times and I don’t add anything. These should not take up space unless created. Would rather have a small button to add them.

  1. Reading tab:

Vocab reading, here as well the title “Vocab Reading” takes up more space than it’s contents. Just fit the reading somewhere else, no need to title it.

Reading Explanation here there are several filler paragraphs that could be reduced to a tag. Like “Since this word consists of a kanji with hiragana attached, you can bet that it will use the kun’yomi reading.”. I would much rather remove all the fluff here and focus on the mnemonic. Make it a very simple tag to indicate onyomi, kunyomi or exceptional circumstance, no need for a paragraph. The paragraph can be a tool tip when hovering.

There are other paragraphs of the sort ‘you already know…’ or ‘we didn’t teach you this yet’. This could also turn into a simple badge.

I have the rendaku plugin, also noisy when there is no rendaku. Similarly, I would rather not have it show unless it has rendaku or it doesn’t because of an exceptional reason.

  1. Context tab: I think in terms of fluff to content it’s straight out content, so it’s fine?

All in all I would collapse Composition, Meaning and Reading into a single tab. Then remove all section titles and instead use font boldness and spacing to organize info. Finally collapse all filler paragraphs to a tag with a tooltip on hover. Context can be left as-is.

What do you think? Has this been done?

Tiny example of what I mean. Wrote a script to add the reading as furigana. Then the “Vocab Reading” is no longer needed.

Also made the furigana clickable and it alternates between the voice actors.

Sometimes there are more than one reading for an item. How furigana handles this?

For Vocabulary I think there is always a main one and that’s what would be chosen. I guess we could fit them all as furigana but might not look nice.

The whole set of readings can still be shown in the panels below but it doesn’t need to take up as much room as the current one does.

That sounds like a better solution to my problem than restricting the times items may appear. Thank you!

We can also have different stylings for the different readings like this. Can’t try it now to how it looks, maybe tonight.

  1. HTML Structure:

    <ruby>
      Kanji<rt><span class="main-furigana">Main Reading</span> <span class="small-furigana">Other Reading</span></rt>
    </ruby>
    
  2. CSS Styling:

    .main-furigana {
      font-size: 1em;
      color: white;
    }
    
    .small-furigana {
      font-size: 0.5em;
      color: gray;
    }

Addon Request:

  • Self-Study
  • Starts at level 1
  • When missing a flashcard, unburns it
  • Onload, reburns flashcards that are Guru 1
  • Remembers where you left off
  • Stops when 50 “Unburns” are accumulated

Any hardcoded stuff above could be configurable, of course. Goal is to look for rough spots after hitting level 60.

It can be done (partially) by Self-study Script summary page + Burn Manager.

Maybe ask @rfindley to add Unburn button to the summary of Self-study Script?

Actually, I think simply, Click to open Item Page in a new tab, would already serve the function. (It can still be done manually, though.)

Regarding the furigana for lessons userscript, I created a dedicated thread for it: [Userscript] Lesson Furigana

Replying to a two-year-old message! Do you know if there is a topic about this somewhere where I can ask about bugs, or who made it? Was it you? It’s stopped working and I found it really useful. Thanks!

Perhaps Dashboard Progress Plus can replace this for you? It has sorting baked in.

I made it. Went ahead and updated it. Seeing how the dashboard changes code every week, I’m not sure how long it will take for it to break, but ping when it does.

Ahh, thank you for the quick reply! I updated to 0.1.1 but there’s no change… I restarted browser too. Is there anything else I should try?

:+1: I had a look at it the last time but I preferred the simplicity of WK Dashboard Sorter. Thank you for suggesting though!

Definitely works for me on my end. Make sure there are no other scripts messing with those or something.


There are a lot of kanji with readings that are taught in specific vocabulary, would it be possible to link to those vocabulary or pull them into the readings section?

There is already a “Found in Vocabulary” section in item info on reviews of kanji, and on the item pages for the kanji.

If you’re talking about lessons, sure, they could be brought in, but it wouldn’t do much good to have those in lessons as the focus there should be learning the primary reading WaniKani teaches, as that is the reading they will expect to be entered (this is why on lesson slides they only ever show the primary reading type, not both).

But if you’re on the item page or looking at the item info in a review, the found in vocabulary section is just below.
