Note: This is not a request to create an input method to convert pinyin to Chinese characters, which is being tracked at T180053.
In Wiktionary, I constantly need to fill in the transliteration field, which needs the Pinyin of the word/character (e.g. zìmǔ for 字母). There is no convenient way of inputting Pinyin other than copying from other pages or using special tools.
It would be great if an input method dedicated to input pinyin (mainly the vowels with tone sign) could be created.

| Major update of jquery.ime from upstream | mediawiki/extensions/UniversalLanguageSelector | master | +1 K -1 K |
Hi @zypA13510, please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector#Adding_support_for_a_new_key_mapping_(input_method) how you (or anyone interested) can write and propose a software change (patch) that provides this functionality.
Hi @Aklapper, thanks for the info. However, I believe the guide is a little bit vague (or too short).
If I'm not mistaken, I should submit a PR to jquery.ime? But the wiki mentioned I should
file requests in the Wikimedia-extensions-UniversalLanguageSelector Phabricator product.
Could you please clarify?
https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.ime/pull/545 has been merged so this task could get resolved?
Not immediately, but some time very soon I'll merge this with the ULS extension, and then it can be resolved.

It will be a very nice bonus if you can write a little user manual for it at this URL:
If you do it there, it will be automatically linked admsca help page from the input method selector.
You can see an example here:

Hi @Amire80,
I have added the help page. But when I try to link it from the main page that lists all inputs, a message says
Translate this page; This page contains changes which are not marked for translation.
Also, the added entry does not appear in the translated pages.
I'm not sure how can I mark the change for translation. Could you please help?
