About user

Hi, I'm Stryn, a Wikimedist from Finland. I registered to my first Wikimedia project, the Finnish Wikipedia on 6th October, 2006 at 20.54.

I've been contributing actively to Wikimedia projects since 2009. During my first years I wrote mostly new articles and edited existing Wikipedia articles. Later I've been doing more other things, like translating newsletters, help pages and interface messages in Finnish; and anything related to technics as much as I have knowledge; and of course counter vandalism.

Nowadays I spend most of my time on Meta-Wiki and the Finnish Wikipedia.

About user rights and activities

On the Finnish Wikipedia I'm an administrator (January 2011–). user page.

On Meta-Wiki I'm an administrator (September 2014–).


I was a steward of Wikimedia wikis (March 2015–September 2025) (before it I was a global sysop and a global rollbacker). I was a member of the Ombuds commission between February and June 2014. Now I'm just a global rollbacker.

On Wikidata I was an administrator between November 2012 and September 2024. I was an oversighter there between September 2013 and June 2014. I was one of the first administrators of the project.

On the Finnish Wikipedia I was a member of the Finnish Arbitration Committee between October 2013 and September 2017, and a CheckUser between May 2015 and April 2026.

I am also member of the Small Wiki Monitoring Team and I translate interface messages on Translatewiki and other messages on Meta as a tech ambassador.

I have attended some edithathons and other events in Finland led by Wikimedia Suomi. In 2016 I was in Wikimania in Italy and in 2019 in Sweden. I'm interested mostly about sports, music, technology and travelling. On IRC you can find me on libera.chat where I am under cloak user/stryn.

You can contact me by leaving a message on my talk page on Meta.

Updates for editors

  • The Reader Experience team has developed a patch demo that wraps the page toolbar onto two lines when there is not enough horizontal space for all the buttons. This aims to reduce crowding in the Vector 2022 toolbar, which can occur on some language Wikipedias at certain screen widths. [1]
  • The Reader Experience team is planning to launch Reading Lists, a Community Wishlist item, which is currently available to try in beta, as a full feature in September. Before then, volunteer translator help is needed for string translations into a number of languages. The feature supports reading and learning goals on Wikipedia.
  • Next week, the table of contents on Wikimedia Commons file pages will be improved by consolidating the file page table of contents with the page table of contents. This will make it easier to understand a file page’s structure, navigate to specific sections, and share links to individual sections. [2]
  • Recurrent item View all 24 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, an issue where some TIFF images failed to load after clicking their thumbnail, causing a broken image to be displayed instead of the full-size image, has now been fixed. [3]

Updates for technical contributors

  • The variable and function selector in AbuseFilter has been updated to support search and autocomplete. It will allow filter maintainers to find the desired variable or function more quickly. [4]
  • The MJPEG and VP8 formats are removed from the video player. The MP4 format (MPEG-4 Part 2) is added instead, which provides higher quality videos to older iPhone devices. It may take a few weeks to retroactively update all existing videos. The default format for modern devices stays the same (VP9/WebM). [5]
  • Recurrent item Detailed code updates later this week: MediaWiki
