Thanks Cimmik, I was going to post to ask about that deck.

Thank you very much for the guide Aikibujin. A pet peeve of mine using Anki 2 (I’ve never used 1 and I started learning Japanese last summer) is that Koichi’s supplemental decks have the deck title showing up on the top of the Anki 2 window. So if I accidentally look up to that title, it will give me a hint for the vocabulary that I am trying to memorize. For example, if I see the word for “lawyer” and I accidentally look up and see “Jobs & Occupations” in the title then it will give me a hint. Consolidating the supplemental decks into the master deck solves that problem. It will make whatever application running those decks run better (so the docs say) and it certainly makes AnkiWeb look more organized when I access my account.

You may want to edit the OP so that you actually use the term “master deck” in it. So that way it will be more clear what the newly created “TextFugu Vocab” and “TextFugu Sentences” decks are intended to be, and all the other decks should be put under them to make consolidating easier.

THIS PARAGRAPH EDITED IN: Another suggestion is, for people trying to consolidate decks for the first time, to tell them to FIRST EXPORT their entire collection so if they make a critical error they can simply import the exported collection with scheduling information and media intact. I did that and I also created a dummy master deck and two dummy subdecks each with dummy cards to test out the Move-to-Deck instructions before I actually tried them with my TextFugu Anki decks.

Do you think it would be worth it to put all the information in this thread into the OP? That’s what I usually see done to guide threads in other forums so I’m not sure if it is easy to do the same thing here in the TextFugu forum.

Would you (or anyone else) recommend consolidating the Hiragana and Katakana decks into one Kana deck? The cards in that deck were not tagged by Koichi so that would be a manual labor that needs to be done if the consolidation is to be done.

This thread should be stickied until future TextFugu updates give Anki deck instructions that are written specifically for Anki 2.
