Hi there,
I’m pretty new to the site, I have looked for an answer to this but I’m getting actual bugs rather than a simple tutorial or something. I have one of the automatic goals for today be to practice kanji strokes in a quiz, but although I’ve turned it on and set a few of the question types, I’m not getting any of them in the quizzes.
Do I need to turn everything else off? Do they not come up often? I’m getting lots of ‘match meaning to word’, or ‘match gana to word’ and not much else.
Thanks in advance :)
Happy to help!
If there are other bugs other than this current issue, do let me know - I'd love to fix them for you!
So, with the schedules, even if you turn on strokes, it's still going to decide (based on the scheduler) what needs to be studied that day. You could turn off the other vectors, and then they would come on, yes. That's not to say they won't come up, but there is not a "this vector just got turned on, force it to the front" thing going on.
There is one more way you could do it if you just want to nail that challenge for the moment. If you go to the Study Center (soon to be called the Lesson Center) under Learn, you can grab a single lesson, choose just strokes, and get the challenge that way!

Great, thank you! Just tricky sometimes to confirm something has worked, but this clarifies for me.
ありがとうございます!

Oh, sorry to bother you but I just found that 'centre' gave no results, this specifically was in the lesson creation kanji search, but happened in the dictionary and I suspect will occur in other places. 'Center' worked, as did both 'colour' and 'color', so I assume you intend to have it working for both English and Americanized spellings :) Just thought I'd let you know (I can add this in bugs specifically if it makes it easier, and if you don't notice this I will do so in case).
That'll be tricky - renshuu's dictionaries are largely based off of the EDICT project (as is most Japanese sites/apps), and unless I go through and adjust all the definitions, hmm..
I wonder if there is a set of common words with different spellings, so it could just scan for those in the search system.

Ah that’s awkward. I wonder if there’s a complete dev’s list somewhere you could reference in the search, short of that, when you find a word where the straight English doesn’t work it seems it would be a case of ‘correcting’ it (as a Brit, I refuse to say that without quotes) and using the Americanised term instead. Obviously much easier if we can find a full list, in that case ideally the search would check the term, if no results it would check the list for an alternative spelling and if found would run the search again.
Well, it would probably be faster to rebuild the search database to just have both. So if a definition was "center", the database entry would show "center centre". The definition would remain the same (I don't think it's safe to just blindly update that), but the "hidden" definition in the search entry could have both.
I'm a bit tied up at the moment, but if you happen to find a clean list of these terms, I'd be more than happy to enter them into the system.

I’m happy to take a look at some point, if I find something I’ll let you know. Short of that I’ll throw together a text file of the ones I know and can find!
Another note, and I’m very sorry as I seem to break things wherever I go (I’m a software tester by trade). I set up a Kanji study list as you recommended, it’s worked out quite well as I needed more practice on ones I already know. My list has 23 terms, is part of a set I made for the ones I know from WaniKani. I set it to study just that first set, again 23 terms, and it had me practice 26 - 3 other Kanji came in, that recently showed up in another quiz on the site (just today - build, say and something else). Is this as intended? I went to repeat the lesson, and it’s still showing 26 questions. I do have screenshots of the numbers I can show on imgur, but they just prove 23 in the list and 26 questions, if you need I can go through again and see if the same extra Kanji appear and get SS of that too.
It is intended, yes, but that should not be turned on by default. I'll check on that.
The setting affecting this is under Quizzing, and is called "Mix weaker items into quizzes". It appears to be turned on in your account, and that adds extra terms. Feel free to turn it off :)
And please, break away!
Edit: yes, there was a bad default value on that setting. Fixed now (for new users).

Great, thanks for clarifying! I’ll put anything else into bugs since we’ve now veered away from the original issue. But glad to know my general attentiveness can be good for something ;)
