+`targetDialect`
+--------------
+
+Specifies the [wildcards and renames](https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/reference/changed-features/imports.html)
+syntax used when imports are coalesced or rewritten.
+
+### Value type
+
+Enum: `Auto | Scala2 | Scala3`
+
+#### `Auto`
+
+Infer the dialect from compilation settings (Scala version or `-Xsource` when
+provided). This is safe only for sources that are not cross-compiled (see
+rationale below).
+
+#### `Scala2`
+
+Use `_` as wildcard and `=>` for renames.
+
+#### `Scala3`
+
+Use `*` as wildcard and `as` for renames.
+
+### Default value
+
+`Scala2`
+
+Rationale: `Auto` is not a safe default for projects cross-compiling with
+Scala 3.x and Scala 2.x without `-Xsource:3`, as the Scala 3.x Scalafix run
+would introduce Scala 2.x compilation errors.
+
+### Examples
+
+#### `Scala2`  
+
+```conf
+OrganizeImports {
+  targetDialect = Scala2
+}
+```
+
+Before:
+
+```scala
+```
+
+After:
+
+```scala
+```
+
+#### `Scala3`  
+
+```conf
+OrganizeImports {
+  targetDialect = Scala3
+}
+```
+
+Before:
+
+```scala
+```
+
+After:
