Unwanted Examples Appearing in Learning

[alaingreaves]

I have just edited my database and removed some of the words that were incorrectly entered.

However, although they are no longer in the database they keep showing up in the group of answers to choose from when learning. This is a problem as some of the information has been entered in the correct form but as the English version didn’t change it’s impossible to know which is correct when two same English words appear in the choice boxes.

Can this be fixed?

Thank you
Alain

hi Alain,

This has been a problem for years and I have never seen a response to this from Memrise.
Neoncube made a script to fix the problem.

[Userscript] Attempt to Eliminate Phantom Entries

Hello everyone, This userscript attempts to remove phantom entries in a course. What are phantom entries? Well, sometimes when you’re presented with multiple choice answers, some of the answers will be old definitions that aren’t present in your course anymore. These are phantom entries. For example, let’s say that you add two words in your course, one after the other. Word 1: helo Word 2: goodbye You then notice that word 1 is spelled incorrectly, so you correct it to “hello”, but when yo…

Unfortunately the script doesn’t currently work due to changes to the website.

If your course is a relatively new course and you (and maybe others) haven’t been learning a long time, the easiest solution would be to start from scratch and make a new course with the correct answers.

You could eventually remove the levels (on the incorrect course) but leave the course with a comment to go to your new improve (cloned) course. ie add it to the description and the first level perhaps.
