Find a small typo on the study page:

Links between stories can be created easily bu typing in the frame number enclosed with braces. For example {113} will show up in stories as "stone" (frame 113).

The last part is actually outdated. Correct would be:

{113} will show up in stories as stone (FRAME 113).

Not completely. FRAME is still lowercased. Which gives me an opportunity to question the appearance of the frame number. Uppercasing equals shouting in other contexts, therefore it could be considered a detractor for some.

Since you're creating a web page and not a book, the whole concept of showing the frame number as explicitly seems to be a little misplaced. Simply putting the link on the keyword would be sufficient IMHO, as in stone, with perhaps the frame number as a popup. Note that I'm still italicizing the keyword. Just an idea.

Hi woelpad, I think the frame number is useful in this context for someone with the RtK book at hand.

I agree! I like having the frame number there, because sometimes people reference keywords that I haven't seen yet... as in "Don't confuse this with frame blah"... and it's nice to know whether their warnings are for kanji you've seen but perhaps forgotten about, or for ones you haven't got to yet.

If you had links all over the place, moving the frame number to a tooltip would be a good idea... but typically you have just one or none at all, so I don't think the frame numbers really produce any sort of appreciable clutter. So I don't really see the need, especially since some people might not realize that they could mouseover to get the frame number.
