Currently the item selector widget used on Special:NewLexeme works the following way: I enter a label of the relevant item, or a part of it, and select a relevant item from the suggested list. Once this happens, the item ID is put in the hidden field which is then send to the backend.
But: When I enter the item ID not its label in the "text field", i.e. I enter "Q42" instead of typing "Douglas Adams", the hidden field is not updated, and the empty value is send to the backend instead of "Q42".
This should be changed so that if the user enters the value to the text field instead of picking an item from the "suggested" list, it is also handled as expected.
Also note that current behaviour makes it impossible to use Special:NewLexeme page with _javascript_ disabled. With no JS the item "suggester" does not work, i.e.g there is no way to pick the right item. In no JS case the expected behaviour would be that user enters the item ID to the field.
