Stryn
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 since 2009. During my first years I wrote mostly new articles and contributed content to Wikipedia. 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. I spend most of my time on Meta-Wiki and the Finnish Wikipedia, Wikidata comes as third. These three projects I count as my "home wikis", after all I have advanced user rights in all of these wikis. |

About user rights and activities  On the Finnish Wikipedia I'm an administrator (January 2011–) and a CheckUser (May 2015–). I was a member of the Finnish Arbitration Committee between October 2013 and September 2017. (user page)  On Meta-Wiki I'm an administrator (September 2014–).  On Wikidata I'm an administrator (November 2012–). I was an oversighter between September 2013 and June 2014.  I'm a steward of Wikimedia wikis (March 2015–) (before it I was a global sysop and a global rollbacker). I was a member of the Ombuds commission between February and June 2014. I work as OTRS-volunteer. 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. |

Problems
- Between 2 April and 8 April, on wikis using Flagged Revisions, the "Zurückgesetzt" tag was not applied to undone edits. In addition, page moves, protections and imports were not autoreviewed. This problem is now fixed. [1][2]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 April. It will be on all wikis from 18 April (calendar). [3][4]- Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [5]
- A new variable
page_last_edit_agewill be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [6]
Future changes
- Volunteer developers are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. Learn more.
Four database fields will be removed from database replicas (including Quarry). This affects only the abuse_filterandabuse_filter_historytables. Some queries might need to be updated. [7]
