Steps at creation

request: Requestee from external wiki post a request on LinguaLibre:Bot

pullrequest: Review the Pull Request

notification: Requestee post on his local Village Pump a variation of "Notice: Lilibot coming, as requested by X, does this & that, it's ok, where should we notify pattrollers & co?"
help: Requestee or else creates a local [[Help:LinguaLibre]] on target wiki. This page contains and extremely brief, general purpose definition of LinguaLibre, the bot, as well as a redirect toward support: LinguaLibre:Bot.
