The Indonesian Misplaced Pages (Indonesian: Misplaced Pages bahasa Indonesia, WBI for short) is the Indonesian language edition of Misplaced Pages. It is the fifth-fastest-growing Asian-language Misplaced Pages after the Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Turkish language Wikipedias. It ranks 25th in terms of depth among Wikipedias. Its first article was written on 30 May 2003, yet its main page was created six months later on 29 November 2003.

There are about 715,734 articles in the Indonesian Misplaced Pages. In April 2016, there were 462 editors who made at least five edits in that month.

Background

Indonesian Misplaced Pages main page with dark mode and Timeless

Although the Indonesian language is similar to the Malay language, the Indonesian Misplaced Pages remains separate from the Malay Misplaced Pages (initiated in October 2002) because they were started separately by two different user groups within six months of each other. In 2009, Andrew Lih wrote "Because these groups are drawn on national boundaries, merging is not likely to happen soon."

Indonesian is a normative form of the Malay language, an Austronesian (or Malayo-Polynesian) language which had been used as a lingua franca in the Indonesian archipelago for centuries, and was elevated to the status of an official language with the Indonesian Declaration of Independence in 1945, drawing inspiration from the Sumpah Pemuda (Youth Pledge) event in 1928. Although it is very similar to the official Malaysian form of the language, it does differ from the Malaysian form in some ways, with key differences in pronunciation and vocabulary, due in large part to the many Dutch words in the Indonesian vocabulary. It is spoken as a mother tongue by only about 7% of the population in Indonesia, but altogether more than 200 million people speak it. The Malay language is spoken by ethnic groups who reside in the Malay Peninsula, southern Thailand, parts of the Philippines, and Singapore. Malay is also considered one of the dialects of the Indonesian language by Indonesians living in central eastern Sumatra, the Riau Islands and parts of the coast of Borneo.

Contributors

In 2004, Tempo magazine published a feature about the Indonesian Misplaced Pages, in which Revo Soekatno, one of its best known contributors, described it as the "Encyclopedia from the boarding houses", meaning an encyclopedia that was produced by Indonesians living and studying overseas. The article contributed to the popularization of Misplaced Pages in the archipelago. Since then, the Indonesian Misplaced Pages has seen its number of users rise remarkably.

In 2006, following Time featuring "You" as its person of the year, Kompas published a feature article on Revo where he was called the "Father of Misplaced Pages in Indonesian". The article highlighted the spirit of participation as the type of "addiction to the cyberspace that needed to be endorsed". Other Indonesian publications followed suit to refer to Revo Soekatno as an "activist that built a community portal in Indonesia" praising his contributions to the presence of Indonesia in the Internet.

In February 2009, the Indonesian Misplaced Pages achieved the milestone of 100,000 articles. One of the contributors mentioned in the article was the user borgx, who made 80,000 edits starting in 2005. That year, the Indonesian Misplaced Pages only had about fifty active contributors.

Workshop and seminars

In March 2007, Bina Nusantara University invited Indonesian Wikipedians to speak at the first Misplaced Pages seminar for the public and to introduce Misplaced Pages Bahasa Indonesia and Wikimedia Foundation projects at its campus in Jakarta.

In November 2007, the Indonesian government, through its Department of Communication and Information, decided to establish an annual Indonesian ICT Award and invited the Indonesian Misplaced Pages community to hold a workshop on how to write Misplaced Pages articles. Ivan Lanin, one of the speakers interviewed by Antara, stated that the number of contributors to the Indonesian Misplaced Pages was rising, and the articles were beginning to become more diverse. According to Revo's speech, the challenge for the Indonesian Misplaced Pages in the future was to gain credibility and give the public assurance about the quality of the content provided.

At the first day, the workshop was attended by 40 people, although the number of computers provided for hands-on practice was considerably less than the number of participants.

The following year, at the 2008 Indonesian ICT Awards, the Indonesian Misplaced Pages community held separate workshop sessions for the public and for organizations.

Partnership with Google

On 4 December 2018, Google announced a partnership with Misplaced Pages in order to translate relevant Misplaced Pages's articles from English to Bahasa Indonesia language through their AI-powered Google Neural Machine Translation.

Physical releases

Indonesian Misplaced Pages Complimentary DVD distributed by Chip magazine on their August 2008 edition

In August 2008, the Indonesian version of CHIP magazine distributed a complimentary DVD containing more than 80,000 articles (without images) with its 11th anniversary edition. This edition also featured a three-page Misplaced Pages article titled "Misplaced Pages: When one thousand brains are better than one". The article provided an extensive history of Misplaced Pages, including the Indonesian Misplaced Pages, as well as a description of the Wikimedia Indonesia chapter, which was in preparation at that time.

However, a DVD version of the Indonesian Misplaced Pages with photos was already in existence since April 2008 and could be purchased online from an independent vendor for 20 thousand rupiah, around US$2.

Controversies

Inclusion of the 1965-1966 mass killings and the communist party of Indonesia

On 3 June 2020, #BoikotWikipedia (#BoycottWikipedia) became trending on Twitter, now known as X, due to Tengku Zulkarnain [id], an ustaz and committee member of Indonesian Ulema Council at the time, complaining about Misplaced Pages's article on the 1965-66 mass killings and the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI). Zulkarnain pressured the chief of the Indonesian National Police Idham Azis and President Joko Widodo to take action and arrest the author. Some things, like Suharto's photo and mentions of the PKI were later removed from the article.

The Crescent Star Party's leader urged Misplaced Pages to remove that edit forever, also claiming that the PKI is the sole writer. An expert on communism called the article "brainwashing". The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle states that it is a "reflection of the country's war on history".

The Wikimedia Foundation of Indonesia states that they are "neutral and unpaid for any articles made in its site." It also acknowledged that many of its articles were mainly translated from the English Misplaced Pages.
