replace rote recommendation 

Anon suggested: "I'm the one who originally wrote this, but I no longer
believe it based on my own experience. While this deck appeared to me in
the beginning like it would be the best resource for rote kanji study on
the grounds of how complete and comprehensive it is, I have come to
realise that it has a major problem in that a lot of the kanji in it
have an absurd amount of meanings that you can't possibly hope to
memorise.

If I were to give advice to someone now on choosing a deck to study
kanji via the rote method, I would tell them to pick one of the mnemonic
decks and just strip the mnemonics from it, the reason being that the
set of meanings they present for any given kanji are much more concise
(only 1 in the case of the RTK and KD decks, which might be overly
concise, and up to 3 in the KKLC deck) and thus much easier to remember.

I recommend perhaps deleting this entry."

<p><a href="https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/798002504">All in One Kanji Deck</a> - Probably the best rote kanji deck on AnkiWeb's shared decks page. Contains 3278 kanji with recall-type cards and 3730 kanji with recognition-type cards. Additional information in the deck includes kunyomi and onyomi readings, example words using the kanji (may help you get a better feel for its meaning), which radicals and/or other kanji appear any given kanji, JLPT grade, Jouyou grade, stroke count, mnemonics, and more. You should read the deck page which has additional important information.</p>

<li>You may wish to use <a href="http://pastebin.com/AkKxmN7i">this</a> customised layout which adds a mincho/serif font to the cards so you can see how the radicals look in that typeface. It also strips out the mnemonics and repositions some information. (It's made for recall cards but would be trivial to repurpose for recognition cards.)</li>
<li><a href="http://pastebin.com/ky6zSrRV">Another customised layout</a> based on the one above, the major difference being the inclusion of hover-to-see readings on the fronts of the cards to help in situations where two cards have very similar/the same definitions, as is often a problem in this deck.</li>

<p><strong>For rote kanji study</strong>: Just pick whichever mnemonic deck (RTK/KKLC/KD) takes your fancy and edit the card layout to remove the mnemonics if necessary. The reason for this is that the mnemonic decks give much more concise meanings for the kanji, whereas rote decks often have <a href="https://my.mixtape.moe/lohfho.png">far too many meanings</a> to be realistically remembered for each kanji. It's worth doing <a href="https://mega.nz/#!uJsA1QwR!2z65jNf9lagIjvESUHHE-mMT3EXjfbRiBo91F9RpQwU">a radical deck</a> first so that if you encounter any kanji which you're really struggling to remember through rote, you can make up a mnemonic using the radicals.</p>
