Development

- Worked on persistent storage for Senses on Lexemes - started by giving them a stable ID (phabricator:T198033 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T198033) - Adding "mis" language code to the list of language code options on Special:NewLexeme (phabricator:T194771 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T194771) - Made the Items used for Language, Lexical Category and Grammatical Feature show up on Special:WhatLinksHere (phabricator:T195302 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T195302) - When adding a new Form the spelling variant is now filled out automatically based on the Lemma's (phabricator:195708 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/195708)
