CHANGES TO TASK DESCRIPTION
**Problem:**
The placeholder texts for Lexeme language and lexical category on Special:NewLexeme are confusing for people because they don't necessarily know what an item ID is and they should not need to worry about it anyway since the suggester handles it for them.
[[https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:NewLexeme|Special:NewLexeme]] in Wikidata as of May 2018: "Language of Lexeme" - the placeholder says "enter item ID e.g Q10" - people don't know IDs. Instead it should be "Enter language" (suggester anyway translated it to ID under the hood)
**Screenshot:**
{F22570162}
**BDD**
GIVEN I am on Special:NewLexeme
AND the fields for "Language of Lexeme" and "Lexical category" have not been filled out
THEN the placehoder texts should read "Enter language, e.g. English" and "Enter lexical category, e.g. noun" respectively
