Passkeys are a simple way to log in without using a second device. They verify the user's identity using a fingerprint, face scan, or a PIN code. To set up a passkey, first set up a regular 2FA method. Currently, to log in with a passkey, users must also use a password. Later this quarter, passwordless login will allow users to log in with a single click and a passkey. Users with advanced rights will also be required to have 2FA enabled. This is part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity/Account Security|Account Security]] project. * Unregistered contributors on blocked IPs or blocked IP ranges can now interact on-wiki to appeal a block by creating a temporary account to appeal a block on the user talk page, unless the "prevent this user from editing their own talk page" is enabled.

'''Updates for editors''' * [[File:Maki-gift-15.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] Logged-in contributors who manage large or complex watchlists can now organise and filter watched pages in ways that improve their workflows with the new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Watchlist labels|Watchlist labels]] feature. By adding custom labels (for example: pages you created, pages being monitored for vandalism, or discussion pages) users can more quickly identify what needs attention, reduce cognitive load, and respond more efficiently. This improves watchlist usability, especially for highly active editors. * A new feature available on [[Special:Contributions|Special:Contributions]] shows [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] that are likely operated by the same person, and so makes patrolling less time-consuming. Upon checking contributions of a temporary account, users with access to temporary account IP addresses can now see a view of contributions from the related temporary accounts. The feature looks up all the IPs associated with a given temporary account within the data retention period and shows all the contributions of all temporary accounts that have used these IPs.

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415674] * When editors preview a wikitext edit, the reminder box that they are only seeing a preview (which is shown at the top), now has a grey/neutral background instead of a yellow/warning background. This makes it easier to distinguish preview notes from actual warnings (for example, edit conflicts or problematic redirect targets), which will now be shown in separate warning or error boxes. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T414742] * The [[m:Special:GlobalWatchlist|Global Watchlist]] lets you view your watchlists from multiple wikis on one page. The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:GlobalWatchlist|extension]] continues to improve — it now properly supports more than one Wikibase site, for example both [[d:|Wikidata]] and [[testwikidata:|testwikidata]].

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415440][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415458] * The automatic "magic links" for ISBN, RFC, and PMID numbers have been [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic links|deprecated in wikitext since 2021]] due to inflexibility and difficulties with localization. Several wikis have successfully replaced RFC and PMID magic links with equivalent external links, but a template was often required to replace the functionality of the ISBN magic link. There is now a new [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words#isbn|built-in parser function]] <code dir=ltr><nowiki>{{#isbn}}</nowiki></code> available to replace the basic functionality of the ISBN magic link.

'''Updates for editors''' * Users facing multiple blocks on mobile will now see the reasons for each block separately, instead of a generic message. This helps them understand why they are blocked and what steps they can take to resolve the issue. For example, users affected for using common VPNs (such as [[Special:MyLanguage/Apple iCloud Private Relay|iCloud Private Relay]]) will receive clearer guidance on what they need to do to start editing again.

Currently when logged-out mobile users begin editing, they see a jarring warning message that can feel abrupt and discouraging. This also presents temporary account editing as the default rather than encouraging account creation. The test is running on ten Wikipedias, including Arabic, French, Spanish and German.

'''Updates for editors''' * There is a change in how new users are autoconfirmed that will improve anti-vandalism protection. Currently, users who have had an account for a few days and made a few edits are automatically added to the [[{{int:grouppage-autoconfirmed/{{CONTENTLANGUAGE}}}}|{{int:group-autoconfirmed}}]] group. This configuration tends to be exploited by some vandals, who create accounts and start to use them only after some time. To mitigate this, the configuration will be updated next week so that – for the purpose of becoming autoconfirmed – the account age will be counted from their first edit, instead of registration date. The numeric value of the age threshold will remain the same. This change will be deployed only to wikis which require at least one edit as part of the autoconfirmation conditions. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T418484] * All Wikipedia users with new accounts and those who activated the "automatically enable most beta features" option in their preference can now use the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader Experience/WE3.3.4 Reading lists|reading lists]] beta feature to save articles for later reading.

De bijgewerkte ervaring is ontworpen om het aanmaken van een account duidelijker aan te moedigen, terwijl gebruikers nog steeds kunnen bewerken met tijdelijke accounts. Resultaten van het experiment lieten een significante toename zien in het aanmaken van accounts, met een relatieve stijging van 27% onder gebruikers die het bijgewerkte bericht te zien kregen. Zoals verwacht namen tijdelijke accounts relatief af met 16% doordat meer mensen een account aanmaakten. Het experiment liet geen significante veranderingen zien in het aantal constructieve bewerkingen of andere gemonitorde bijdragerstatistieken.

Leden van deze groepen kunnen de laatste 2FA-methode op hun account niet uitschakelen, en het is onmogelijk om gebruikers zonder 2FA aan deze groepen toe te voegen. Gebruikers kunnen nog steeds nieuwe authenticatiemethoden toevoegen of verwijderen, zolang er ten minste één methode continu ingeschakeld blijft. In de komende weken worden gebruikers zonder 2FA uit deze groepen verwijderd. Dit geldt met name voor bureaucraten. Zie de gekoppelde taken voor uitrolschema's.

Dit betekent dat iedereen die standaard alle bètafuncties ingeschakeld heeft deze functie te zien krijgt, en anderen kunnen het vakje aanvinken om het in te schakelen in hun voorkeuren. De bètafunctie bevat een carrousel van alle afbeeldingen van een pagina bovenaan de pagina, met opties voor redacteuren om [[mw:Readers/Reader_Growth/Image_Browsing#Phase_2.1_beta_feature|afbeeldingen uit te sluiten van de carrousel van de pagina of om een pagina volledig uit te sluiten van de functie]]. * [[File:Reload icon with two arrows.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Terugkerend onderwerp]] Bekijk alle {{formatnum:30}} door de gemeenschap ingediende {{PLURAL:30|taak|taken}} die vorige week [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|opgelost]] {{PLURAL:30|is|zijn}}.

'''Updates for editors''' * As part of the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Contributors/Account Creation Experiments|Account Creation Experiments]], the Growth team tested adding a user account icon in the mobile web header for logged-out users, providing direct access to "Create account" and "Log in" actions. The experiment increased account creation by about 20% without negatively affecting edit quality or constructive edit rates.

Previously, using <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>-prefix:</nowiki></code></bdi> with negation could unintentionally broaden search results by adding the namespaces included in the search scope, leading to confusing behavior for users expecting a straightforward exclusion filter. With the update, <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code><nowiki>-prefix:</nowiki></code></bdi> will now strictly exclude matching page titles as intended and may display a warning if the relevant namespace has not been explicitly selected.

I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification|Parser Unification]] project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier. If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserMigration|Extension:ParserMigration]] documentation. There is [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Confidence Framework|more information about our roll-out strategy]] available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki. To report bugs and issues, please look at our [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Parsoid/Parser Unification/Known Issues|known issues]] documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the [[phab:project/view/5846|Content Transform Team in Phabricator]]. <section end="announcement-content" /> </div> [[mw:User:MSantos (WMF)|Content Transform Team]] 3 aug 2026 18:31 (CEST) <!-- Bericht verzonden door User:MSantos (WMF)@metawiki via de lijst op de pagina https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Distribution_list/Global_message_delivery/Wikisource&oldid=28221043 --> == <span lang="en" dir="ltr">Tech News: 2026-32</span> == <div lang="en" dir="ltr"> <section begin="technews-2026-W32"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

Doch zij verkeerden in een zoodanigen toestand, dat niemand er eenige aandacht aan schonk. Algemeen oordeelde men ook, dat ze geen waarde hadden, zoodat bij sommigen de gedachte opkwam om de oude schilderijen, waarvan de voorstelling zeer onduidelijk was geworden, naar den zolder te brengen. <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Doch het bestuur van het St. Christoffelhuis, terzake opmerkzaam gemaakt door een zijner medeleden, ging er toe over de schilderijen nader te doen onderzoeken. Dit onderzoek deed het bestuur er toe besluiten om de oude doeken door den kunstschilder A. Windhausen te doen restaureeren. Het resultaat er van is verrassend. Een der groote schilderijen is geëxposeerd in de étalage van den kunsthandel F. Windhausen, de overige drie hebben een goede plaats gekregen in het Christoffelhuis. <br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;De heer A. Windhausen heeft met groote zorg en toewijding de oude schilderijen zeer deskundig gerestaureerd. De schilderijen waren in hun ouden staat met een vuile, bruine verflaag overdekt. De verwijdering ervan en de restauratie bracht zeer fraaie landschappen aan het licht. De schilderijen zijn niet gesigneerd, doch vermoedelijk dateeren zij uit de tweede helft der zeventiende of begin achttiende eeuw. De landschappen zijn geschilderd in den trant van Jacob Ruysdael (1628–1682) met een levendig en fijn coloriet. De schilderijen zijn werkelijk een aanwinst en het zou zeker de moeite loonen, deze werken van een onbekenden meester eens nader door deskundigen te laten onderzoeken. |} == Overige vindplaatsen == *Anoniem (19 mei 1937) ‘Oude schilderijen in het Christoffelhuis’, ''De Limburger'', eerste blad, [p.&nbsp;2]. *Anoniem (19 mei 1937) ‘Oude schilderijen in het Christoffelhuis’, ''Nieuwe Venlosche Courant'', tweede blad, [p.&nbsp;1].

Deze Arnoul nam de vrouwe over wie ik u vertel, Zij die zes broers had, allen even strijdbaar en koen; Maar zij stierven jong, zo staat in de boeken geschreven. En toen zij waren heengegaan, werd Rose, over wie ik zing, De vrouwe van Nijmegen, en draagster van de kroon; Zo werd Arnoul er koning, door het lot aan hem ten deel gevallen. Daarom prijzen gierigaards zich gelukkig en welgezegend, Wanneer zij een rijke koopman in hun familie tellen. Maar nadat zij louter sparend schatten hebben vergaard, Komen zij te sterven, tot hun eigen diepe rouw; En hun vermogen valt dan vaak toe aan een deugniet, Die het verbrast, verkwist en er goede sier mee maakt. :Deze koningin Rose, van wie ik hier gewag maak: Regeerde over Nijmegen en kroonde haar gemaal tot koning. Zij was de tante van Ydayn met het schone gelaat, En die was de moeder van de dappere Godfried van Bouillon. Deze Rose bracht een roemrijke erfgenaam voort: Boudewijn van Sebourc, die het hart van een leeuw bezat. Op deze Boudewijn heb ik mijn heldendicht gebaseerd; En ook van zijn drie schone broers zal ik hier verhalen. Alle vier werden zij koning en heersten over een edel rijk: Esmeré, de oudste, bestuurde Nijmegen in zijn naam; Gloriant hield Cyprus als zijn rechtmatig erfdeel; Alexander Schotland, overladen met eer. Boudewijn, de jongste, die de moed van een baron had, Werd gekroond tot koning in de tempel van Salomo; Hij heerste over het ganse land tot aan Capharnaüm: Nooit heeft een betere ridder dan hij een harnas gedragen. Het bloed van onze Heer heeft hij destijds gevonden, samen met de leeuw Die de relikwie zeven jaar lang bewaakte bij een struik, Vlak bij Abilant, een stad van grote naam en faam, Zoals u aanstonds zult vernemen in dit edele lied. :Luister nu naar mij, ridders en baronnen!</poem> |}<noinclude></noinclude> iiltujhlz22844tbhtkfgxs1k87txyr Pagina:Li romans de Bauduin de Sebourc.pdf/419 104 88274 226240 225561 2026-08-31T15:09:15Z Havang(nl) 4330 226240 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Havang(nl)" /></noinclude>{| |valign=top| <poem> « Me serront délivré et osteit de prison. « Car si tost que de chi tourneront le talon, « Chertes je vous sievrai à coite d’esporon ; « Et devant Ytalie arrai mon paveillon « Drechiet prochainement, et gens o moy foison. « Sé me voliés aidier à mon loyal besoing, « Vous et le chevaliers dont j’ai dévotion « Arai en ma baillie à bien courte saison ; « Car dame scet trop bien déchevoir son baron. « Dame, » che dist li rois, « pour Dieu qui tout créa, « Vous pri que vous m’aidiés.

Hij was een goede gezel, en wist goed te spelen Het spel dat een dame soms wenst te spelen. En men kan een goede werkman ook niet te veel prijzen, En de slechte werkman weet de dame goed te laken. Daarom, wanneer men jong is, moet men zich zo haasten Dat men zich in de ouderdom over de jeugd kan verheugen; Want het is een mooie zaak om deugdzaam te leven. 130 </poem> |}<noinclude></noinclude> 8b8qu96xyse0laua717sqfl9wsxxjdu Pagina:Li romans de Bauduin de Sebourc.pdf/421 104 88276 226242 225563 2026-08-31T15:21:32Z Havang(nl) 4330 226242 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Havang(nl)" /></noinclude>{| |valign=top| <poem> A ma droite materre me vaurai retourner : Dirai le roy Morgant, le Sarrasin Escler, Qui vint droit à le porte sa moullier demander.

Men ziet wel vaker gebeuren bij menig fraai jongeman Dat hij zijn vrouw gaat zoeken, smeken en opeisen, Bij degene die haar bij zich heeft laten rusten. De liefde maakt de wijzen immers vaak dol. Bij de buitenmuren van Bagdad is koning Morgans gekomen; En koning Pourvéus komt hem daar tegemoet: Hij bracht Ludiane mee, die een bekoorlijk lichaam had, 140 En droeg haar over aan de koning, onder de voorwaarde Dat hij hem had beloofd dat hij, zolang hij leefde, Bagdad niet meer zou belegeren, noch de omliggende gebieden. De koning ziet zijn vrouw en omhelst haar teder; En zij kuste hem en zei al zuchtend: “ Heer, wat heb ik lange tijd een bedroefd hart gehad! “ “ Vrouwe, ik geloof u wel. “ Toen gingen zij uiteen. God! Wat waren de christenen blij en verheugd Dat zij naar hartenlust volop te eten hadden! En de Saracenen trokken snel ver weg, 150 In de richting van Italië keerden zij terug. Bauduin de Sebourc namen zij met zich mee, Bauduin de kalief, en koning Polibant, Die zeer misnoegd zijn dat de trouweloze ongelovigen Hen gevangen wegvoerden zonder enige bescherming. “ Ach! God, “ zei Bauduin, “ diegene treft ongeluk “ Wanneer hij zijn meester onderwerpt aan zijn arme dienaar. “ “ Ach! God, “ zei Bauduin, “ heilige maagd Maria, “ Ooit heb ik in Bagdad een man hoffelijkheid betoond, “ Nu heeft hij het mij slecht vergolden, bij God, deze keer. “ 160 Zo sprak de edelman. En Morgans van Italië Laat de baronnen elke dag eenmaal slaan; En de goede christenen zeiden: God, help ons!

Toen zei ze: “ Heer God, die alles moet oordelen, “ Hoe zal ik hen kunnen troosten of helpen? “ Van de koning vertrok de dame, zonder dralen, 210 In haar kamer is zij gegaan, die met puur goud beschilderd was; Bij een kistje komt zij aan, en vond daar een slot. De sleutel van de put, die zo hoog werd geprezen, Had Morgan daar geplaatst, al meer dan een heel jaar; Maar sinds de christenen hen kwamen belegeren, Ging hij elke nacht in zijn kist kijken Of de sleutel er nog altijd lag, bij het slapengaan, Hij zou niet nalaten te gaan, zelfs niet voor het goud van Montpellier. Hij was niet gerust op zijn edele vrouw, Daarom ging hij de sleutel zo vaak hanteren. 220 Goed wist de dame het, waar zij slechts hoefde toe te kijken, Dus nam zij een beetje was en begon het te kneden; Toen duwde zij de sleutel erin en liet hem hechten Helemaal naar haar wens erin gedrukt: Toen de afdruk erin stond, ging zij de sleutel weer verbergen En sloot het kistje weer af, dat zij niet open wilde laten. Een smid heeft zij laten ontbieden, door een van haar schildknapen, En de smid komt eraan, die niet wilde weigeren; De koningin zei tegen hem: “ u moet smeden “ Op deze afdruk hier een stevige sleutel. 230 “ Vanavond wil ik hem hebben, en u zult een goede beloning krijgen; “ Want ik heb een kistje dat met staal is beslagen, “ De sleutel ervan is verloren, wat mij erg verdriet, “ Want mijn juwelen liggen erin, die ik liefheb en koester. “ Nu herinner ik mij een dame, die hier onlangs kwam, </poem> |}<noinclude></noinclude> 67cqvt6595jy5fnq0lcpo44r3yhcpmx Pagina:Li romans de Bauduin de Sebourc.pdf/425 104 88280 226244 225567 2026-08-31T15:29:31Z Havang(nl) 4330 226244 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Havang(nl)" /></noinclude>{| |valign=top| <poem> En le hyauwe fu getės, chelle propre nuittie.

In geen levend mens stelt de dame haar vertrouwen, Wanneer zij haar geheime raad op een besloten plek deelt. Toen bedacht de lieftallige koningin zich: Nooit was een dame, geloof ik, beter geadviseerd Dan de koningin was, over wie ik u vertel, Om haar echtgenoot te schande te maken, van wie zij ongelukkig hield. 280 Ludiane, de dame met het zeer schone lichaam, Nam inkt en perkament; zo schreef zij menig briefje En stelde op schrift, de dame met het trouwe hart: “Heer koning van Bagdad, ik stuur u zonder herroeping “Dat ik de sleutel heb laten smeden door een goede, snelle smid, “Om de put te openen die naast een weitje ligt; “Ga daar naar binnen, samen met menig jonker. “Als u morgen, voor de middag, niet onfeilbaar komt “Om binnen Italië een gevecht te beginnen, “Zullen de drie christenen, die nobele jonkers zijn, 290 “Die Morgan in zijn gehouwen kerker gevangen houdt, “Morgen elk de nek worden afgesneden: “Want Morgan heeft het gezworen bij de wet van Jupiter, “En hij zou zijn eed niet breken, zelfs niet voor het bezit van Lucifer. “Welnu, denk eraan te komen, bij het lichaam van de heilige Daniël; “En als u de boodschap van deze oproep kunt lezen, “Laat dan voor mijn kasteel branden “Dertig brandende fakkels. Dan zal ik direct weten “Of u mijn bevel met een vurig hart zult opvolgen.” Vijftien brieven maakte de dame, die zij merkte met dit teken, 300 Toen nam zij vijftien schapen: aan de nek Van elk schaap bond de dame een briefje. Bij het geheime achterpoortje, dat naast een bruggetje ligt, Liet de dame ze naar buiten, hen opjagend met een stokje; Ze kwamen in een gracht terecht waarin menig kiezelsteen lag. </poem> |}<noinclude></noinclude> scbxd82cu77oupwsv2lbpa252zwj3x8 Pagina:Li romans de Bauduin de Sebourc.pdf/426 104 88282 226245 225570 2026-08-31T15:31:03Z Havang(nl) 4330 226245 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Havang(nl)" /></noinclude>{| |valign=top| <poem> Li motton paissent l’erbe, en furquant du musel, Trestout se sont espars contre val le praiel ; Pasturant vont sous l’erbe li petit moutoncel, S’emportent les novèles au riche roy loyel Qui de la dame aloit désirant le rével.

De schapen zijn verspreid over het groenende gras, De hele nacht door grazen zij daar in de avondval. En toen de volgende dag aanbrak, na zonsopgang, Keek het leger toe en begon men op te merken Dat de schapen zich te goed deden aan het gras als ontbijt; Waarop ridders en serganten kwamen aanrennen: Wie de zijne kan grijpen, pakt hem snel mee. Toen zij de brieven zagen die aan hun nek hingen, 320 Lazen zij de brieven; toen zagen zij in Dat de groet en de boodschap voor de koning bestemd waren. Alle vijftien schapen worden aan de koning gepresenteerd: De koning nam de brieven en toonde grote vreugde; De boodschap die hij hoorde, vond hij welbehaaglijk. Toen liet hij terstond dertig fakkels ontsteken En heel dicht bij het kasteel stonden dertig serganten Die de fakkels vasthielden op de groenende weide. De koningin zag hen goed en begon God te danken. Vlak naast het grote paleis van Italië, 330 Was er een kelder; en er zat een deur aan de voorkant, Daar was de ingang, zo lezen wij geschreven, Die onder de grond liep: Morgan legde daar een tunnel aan Waar vier man breed gemakkelijk samen konden gaan, Gewapend met alle wapens, gezeten op hun strijdros. En de tunnel liep uit in een groenend bos: Daar was een torentje waardoor men naar buiten ging, Maar de koning van Bagdad wist van het geheim, Dus liet hij de toren afbreken en vond zo het gat; Een halve mijl lang was deze grot die daar liep.340 </poem> |}<noinclude></noinclude> 5frtw38zl5nwyx11rlgy5u16jqmk71o Pagina:Li romans de Bauduin de Sebourc.pdf/428 104 88284 226246 225572 2026-08-31T15:36:10Z Havang(nl) 4330 226246 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Havang(nl)" /></noinclude>{| |valign=top| <poem> Briefment le deffrema, puis s’escrie à haut son : « Venés, » dist-il, « à mont, fel traïtour laron, « Vostre mort est jugie ; n’i arès raenchon. « Vous n’arés jà bientost mestier de caperon. » Quant li troi damoisel oen le Sarrasin,380 Si furent en grant doubte tenant le chief enclin ; « A coi pensommes-nous, signour, » dist Bauduin, « Puist qu’il plaist à Jhésu, qui de l’yawe fist vin, « Que nous devons morir et aler à déclin ? « Prendons en gré la mort, franc noble palasiin, « Et s’afons, ens el coer, de Dieu le sanc divin « Qu’il respandi pour nous oster de mains Kayn. « Aïons vraie mémore et vrai coer entérin « A le joie des chiex.
