Thanks, Tgr !

It would be great if we could include this good news in the upcoming blog post 
about Google Code-in that’s being planned here on Phabricator:

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T86457

Gergo, would you like give us a quote about your impression being a mentor and 
working with young students?

And if you have more time, you might want to briefly describe who the students 
were, how you coached them and what they accomplished — particularly if it’s a 
user-facing feature we can invite people to check out, such as the 
copy-pastable file names.

We should aim to do this in coming days, so we can aim to publish soon after 
the Google Code-in winners are announced on Feb. 2.

Nicely done!
