I think it should always ask spelling variant. Many languages use multiple scripts and have multiple codes, and picking one automatically makes it seem like there is only one "preferred" variant. One should have the option to add a "tg" representation of a Persian lexeme first since Tajik is a dialect of Persian with a Cyrillic orthography, yet if a Tajik writer/typer wishes to add a lexeme this way, they would have to change the code manually after creating the lexeme. This may be a contributing factor to why Persian has yet to be successfully merged like other multi-script languages are for lexemes. That you have to select a variant for mono-scripts is mildly annoying at worst, and generally still requires less typing than adding a multi-script lexeme TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284882 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: mrephabricator Cc: mrephabricator, Manuel, daniel, Denny, Mahir256, Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE, Lydia_Pintscher, Bugreporter, waldyrious, Nikki, Astuthiodit_1, karapayneWMDE, Invadibot, maantietaja, ItamarWMDE, Akuckartz, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, _jensen, rosalieper, Scott_WUaS, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331
