It should be possible to give some information as URL parameters, to have those fields filled out automatically.
If we end up using the special page for editing lexicon entries, it will be used there. It is also required for T133857: Link to Special:EditLexicon from player.

After looking around a bit on other special pages, it seems that the only thing that is needed for fields to be filled from URL parameters is to give the the name attribute.

[mediawiki/extensions/Wikispeech@master] Use FormSpecialPage for Special:EditLexicon
For some reason hidden fields (as in type="hidden") are not populated from the URL parameters and I was going to use that for the page parameter. I don't know why this is, though a work around shouldn't be too hard.
I think the hidden field behaviour is so that the user can't enter data through the request. I found a way to do that anyway since we want it in this case.
