As of now, if you reach the leech threshold of a card, a generic “Leech” tag is added to the whole note. What if a card-specific tag was added instead? Anki could assign a number to each card of a note and tag accordingly. E.g. if you reach the leech threshold for cloze number 6, the tag “Leech_6/…

One alternative would be to allow the user to assign a specific flag on leech. But in the mean time, by searching for a lapse threshold when searching for the leech tag, you can narrow the matches down to cards that have crossed the leech threshold. The tag is intended as a reminder that you need to…

For me, associating the leech with a flag would be better. I usually have multiple clozes per note, so the leech as tag feature is not useful right now, as it’s difficult to spot which card is the one that requires attention.

I have a specific search "tag:leech" AND "prop:lapses>7" and move leeched cards to a different deck and remove leech tag manually from time to time The flag thing would do, since they are per card instead of note The leech tag is not very useful in regular 2 sided notes, but its specially useless …

I found that the addon Mortician does the flagging of failing cards, according to rules defined by the user. But, I think it only works for reviews on the desktop. [image] whatchu: The leech tag is not very useful in regular 2 sided notes, but its specially useless in clozed notes Why do you…

[image] whatchu: With 2 sided you cant accurately tell which one triggered the taggig. I see, now. I don’t use Reverse, so I did not notice that problem.

Since you’ve now written the More Flags add-on (forum page is here ), any thoughts about making a colorless leech flag a standard thing? Colorless because is:suspended cards already have a color which we wouldn’t want to override, and because traditional note-level tags don’t require you to set a co…

Over time I’ve occasionally changed the leech threshold up and down, so searching for prop:lapses>N as a proxy for a card-level leech tag is an imperfect solution. Also, there are some uncommon cases where more than one card of a note turns into a leech. So then you shouldn’t remove the tag when un…

Leech idea (card-specific tag)

Anki Suggestions

I think this is a good idea for an add-on. Anki provides the card_did_leech hook, which can be used for that.
