Would submitting patches for special pages be an easy Google-Code-in-2019 task? I could make a subtask for each remaining special page if that were simpler

Aklapper moved this task from Proposed tasks to Information needed on the Google-Code-in-2019 board.Jan 6 2020, 5:10 PM

@DannyS712: Would you mentor this in Google-Code-in-2019?

Unfortunately, I'm not a mentor for GCI, but it should be pretty easy for someone else too
