Template:Bot steps/text

The steps for bot developements are a list of identified, necessary and/or best practice steps in order to develop a proper LinguaLibre bot's localization.

Steps at creation

1. request: Requestee from external wiki post a request on LinguaLibre:Bot
2. discuss: Discuss the localized requirements
3. code: Develop the script
4. test: Test the script, runs under close supervision, bot master awaiting feedbacks and ready to fix.
5. pullrequest: Review the Pull Request
6. merge: Merge the Pull Request
7. ping: Requestee get notified : all is ready
8. 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?"
9. 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.
10. wait: Wait 7 days (recommended).
11. active: Activate the bot with edit msg linking to the help page.
