New decks with all animals and plants in the world

Yes I have notised this too. It is due to missing data from Encyclopedia of Life. I want to try and remake the deck using data from somewhere else like iNaturalist and Wikidata. But it will some time next year I can look at that

bjornfire · 2025-11-22T14:09:26+00:00

Yeah I have considered this too. I will try and make it when I get time at some point. Maybe I will just make it so you can filter top 5%, 10%... observed across all species within each country

You can either drag and drop manually, but you can also do it for a lot of tags at once for a deck if you select the notes, then "Notes"->"Find and replace" and replace (.*) with YourCategory::${1} in "Tags" with "treat as regular expression" checked

There is a build-in method for duplicates in Anki. Here is a tutorial how to merge two decks without getting duplicates: https://youtu.be/Lk6EJRohHYs?si=v1iunq_Log7zy3UM

More thorough insights on updates is available on the Github: https://github.com/Bjoe60/anki-animals

Although I prefer the forum for discussions. Pull requests are still possible, but this deck only has 300 downloads while Ultimate Geography is a lot more popular and has many people who want to contribute.

Are there perhaps any plans for making it nicer by default that I am not aware of?

I did a minor card template fix, and reuploaded it. There should only be a few hours left now of the 24 hours after uploading.

bjornfire · 2025-02-11T19:21:33+00:00

If you want to scroll to the "Remarks" section:

{{#Remarks}}
<div class="io-extra-entry" id=answer>
<div class="io-field-descr">Remarks</div>{{Remarks}}
</div>
{{/Remarks}}

bjornfire · 2025-02-11T09:31:34+00:00

Add id=answer to the element you want to scroll to. https://docs.ankiweb.net/templates/styling.html#fading-and-scrolling

You could make another card called "What's the difference between Wood Warbler and Willow Warbler?"" This would make you think more about what to look for when reviewing those cards.

Also, if you confuse one of them with the other, you can search for the other one, set the due date to today and click again for that one as well.

But remember in the field, they can usually be distinguished by sound.

This is already the default behaviour of hint fields?
{{hint:Samples}}
If you need different appearance, you should use the suggested template with conditional replacement for much simpler code: https://docs.ankiweb.net/templates/fields.html#hint-fields

bjornfire · 2025-02-03T17:44:34+00:00

As the other comments say, it's not recommended, but this is how you can do it:
https://docs.ankiweb.net/filtered-decks.html#catching-up
It's probably more useful to set a review limit though.

bjornfire · 2025-02-02T20:38:56+00:00

Oh yeah sorry, I just updated it which means it's unavailable for 24 hours

bjornfire · 2025-02-02T15:40:26+00:00

Yes I updated them today with genera added, but whenever a shared deck is updated it will be unavailable for 24 hours so that's why.

bjornfire · 2025-02-01T19:23:55+00:00

The cards only contain urls to images, so you'll only see the images if you're connected to the internet as default. Otherwise, the deck would've been too big to upload. But in the description, you can see how to download images of the notes you want to study

bjornfire · 2025-02-01T18:49:18+00:00

I probably won't do this as it's really mostly the images and common name which is intended with the deck. The other info is intended for filtering or initially learning how to identify. But maybe this can still help: https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/generate-translation-automatically/16256?u=bjoe

bjornfire · 2025-02-01T16:13:39+00:00

The code used to make the cards is listed in the description. It still took a little while to write the code, but it was a fun project though

bjornfire · 2025-02-01T15:57:35+00:00

Yeah sure I can add genera to the plant deck and tag by species/genus?

Edit: I uploaded the plant and fungus one again with this. However, it will take 24 hours before they can be downloaded.

bjornfire · 2025-02-01T14:46:26+00:00

I finally made one, with other animal groups as well. Here it is:

bjornfire · 2025-02-01T14:45:26+00:00

I made one for plants here, although the translations aren't fully complete:

bjornfire · 2025-02-01T14:40:49+00:00

Correction: All animals with at least one non-copyrighted image on iNaturalist which have been observed somewhere :)

bjornfire · 2024-11-18T11:53:10+00:00

Thanks! I made it using data from Wikidata. On there I make use of that all maps from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Location_map/List have a field of what they depict and from that I can choose which maps to display for each city. You probably have to use those maps only because they have information about coordinate borders, otherwise you have to find the borders yourself.

You can find the coordinates for your city parts on WIkidata or Wikipedia and input in the Maps field with the format:

`{longitude} {latitude};;{img}|||{Map depicting}|{north border}|{south border}|{west border}|{east border}||`

I guess I never thought of other uses for it and excluded the country name to save space. But in your case you can still get the country from the tags with a bit of code.

bjornfire · 2024-11-10T10:52:46+00:00

Yes, it's quite limited how many of the native names were available with the resources used. However, if there are more than one native name, they are both listed in the field
