Move Bury siblings setting to the note type

Anki Suggestions

Hi.

I tend to have a two very different types of notes - where I want to learn sibling cards as close to each other as possible and as spaced as possible.

To implement it I’m using different subdecks right now. But its quite inconvinient for several reasons:

1. Normally decks are dedicated to different fields of study and dividing them according to type of note breaks the structure logic.

  1. I need to double number of decks.
  2. I need to double settings presets and support them - if I change a parameter in one presset i need to change it in its twin preset.

Suggestion:

  1. Allow to chose the way a note treats (buries) its siblings in the note type.
  2. Alternatively: make it in the note itself.
  3. Alternatively: connect it with a tags.

By “node” – you mean note, right?

yes, thanks, ive fixed the mistake in the post

Thanks for clarifying that.

I understand your point here, but burying is intrinsically related to how and when cards are studied, not to how cards are created, so it seems like the Options preset is the right place for it. In the same way you’re worried about having double the decks and double the presets now – with what you’re proposing, you’d have to worry about having double the note types, which seems much more complicated.

The other important point is that a core feature like sibling burying can’t really be moved in this way – it would be too disruptive to existing collections. If someone were interested in taking this up, they would have to figure out a way to have burying settings in 2 different spheres and have the scheduler be able to rely on either one.

I suspect these recent discussions are yours too.

If not, and it’s just something bubbling up all over – it’s probably still worth connecting them up because of their overlaps.

Yes, those are my topics.

Im newbie here, so for me is quite hard to draw a line between studying cards and creation of cards (for studing). But I imagine there is a line between structure of knowledge and descisions when to study. Can we say that notes defines structure and decks when to study?

In that case we can split bury-settings into two parts: what and when.

Logically the decision about what kind of siblings we deal with (does they interfere with each other) related to structure and notes. And when to study them (should it be buried for 1, 10 or 0 days) - to decks.

Consider these two notes:

  1. {{c1:Resilient}} is {{c2:Able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions.}}
  2. List Inner Planets: {{c1:Mercury}}, {{c2:Venus}}

these create cards with very different relations. In the first note two cards spoil each other, in the second - they dont. And this is not a question of how and when to study, it is a property of knowledge which note contains. All I say is that it should be regulated in the note itself.

I think this also allows to avoid the technical issue you mention.
