Description

As an editor I want to be able to select the right spelling variant already when creating the new Lexeme, not only once the Lexeme has already been created.

Problem:
Special:NewLexeme does not allow you to put in custom spelling variants like de-x-Q1234. We should allow this in addition to the list of selectable spelling variants.

Example:

  • de-x-Q1234

Screenshots/mockups:
TBD

Acceptance criteria:

  • custom language codes can be entered for the spelling variant on the Special:NewLexeme page
  • input is validated and only the codes allowed on the Lexeme page are accepted on Special:NewLexeme
    • Open questions:**
  • How do people even get there? For example when selecting German as the language then the spelling variant input field would not be shown to them.

assigning to myself to flesh this out with details for putting in a special language code for the specilling variant (de-x-Q1234, etc)

It looks like with the current setup people will not actually get to the point where they could enter a spelling variant meaningfully. So let's decline this for now and get back to it once we have clearer needs and ideas for how to do it.
