In the context of the new NewLexeme special page we're going to create a lot of new messages. However, we discussed that we want to reuse the ones for the Input labels and placeholders and just replace the current copy. It is acceptable that this also changes the copy on the existing legacy NewLexeme special page.
Acceptance criteria:
- The label and placeholders for the inputs for Lemma, Lexeme Language and lexical category match those defined by UX
- They are visible on the new NewLexemeAlpha page: https://wikidata.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:NewLexemeAlpha
Messages:
| Current message on the new page | Proposed new message | |
| placeholder for Lemma | Short form of a word, e.g. 'first' | Base form of a word, e.g. 'speak' |
| placeholder for language | The Lexeme's language, e.g. 'English' | <no change> |
| placeholder for spelling variant | Language code for the Lemma's spelling variant, e.g., 'en' | Language code for the Lemma's spelling variant, e.g. 'en' |
| placeholder for lexical category | The Lexeme's category, e.g. 'numeral' | The Lexeme's lexical category, e.g. 'verb' |
| example Lexeme | L2 (first) | L380 (speak) |
Notes:
- The placeholder messages for lexical category and language are discussed in T307443, we anticipate that we would need to create new translation messages for these placeholders, and that we would get rid of the old messages, once the Special:NewLexeme page is replaced.
