Why not adding more history of Indonesia
Like, the Majapahit Empire, Islamization of the archipelago and the time when Indonesia became a federal country

We have a dedicated article,
History of Indonesia, linked from this page which touches upon those topics.

What English does Indonesia use?
According to the image above, Indonesia uses American spelling, and not British. The image's history shows Indonesia as red(🇬🇧), and was changed to blue(🇺🇸) about three years ago. If the file is right, every article on Indonesia will need to switch to American English. (If it's wrong only the file will need correcting.) If you're Indonesian or know enough about Indonesia to provide valid input, please give your two cents. (And I used flag emojis. Big deal.)

Wouldn't there be a lot of overlap with media coming in from Malaysia and Singapore, both of which use variants of British English,
Singaporean English and
Malaysian English, since both MY and SG use Malay, and Indonesian intelligible with Malaysian Malay --

Indonesian rarely care about Singapore and Malaysia's media. So it wouldn't be a problem

In my opinion, Indonesia should be yellow. During our early education, we had been provided with edubooks with British spelling – colour instead of color. But, in the college and work, the certification requirement is commonly using TOEFL instead of IELTS. Also, Indonesia is one of the country with fastest internet-growing users, therefore with mainly American media consumed on the internet, we naturally using color more often and then forgot what have been taught about colour in class.

I received an allegation that the capital city would be moved on August 17 2024 from
here and
here. So will the capital city listed in the infobox be replaced with Nusantara (IKN) on that date or keep listed Jakarta instead?
Baqotun0023 (

If reliable secondary sources agree the capital has been moved, I expect the infobox would be updated to match.

OK, thank you for the explanation, there is still a bit of overlap regarding the relocation of the capital city. We hope contributors will consider this issue 🙏.
Baqotun0023 (

I want to add here, that based on the
Law on State Capital (UU No.3 2022) which went into effect on 15 February 2022, after at most two years (that means 15 February 2024), the capital status of Jakarta as stipulated in UU No.27 2007 will be void. Although technically it also needs a prerequisite of Presidential Decree on formalizing the move of the capital to Nusantara.
Meaning though de jure, the capital is Nusantara, though de facto it still is Jakarta (or maybe currently it is a legal limbo where Indonesia does not have a capital right now).

So, is it better to just use the word "None", rather than having 2 cities in different columns? (even though it says none, I will also add a description)
Baqotun0023 (

Sorry according from
here, Jakarta remains Capital City until presidential decree
Baqotun0023 (
talk) 08:15, 7 March 2024 (UTC)reply
Presumably it would mean that. The law is rather confusing, this is probably because they thought the decree and a new bill defining Jakarta status would have been passed in that two years timeframe before the deadline, technically there is no "Provinsi Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta" as stated in chapter 39 anymore as the UU no.27 2007 (which subsumed previous law defining Jakarta) is not in force anymore as per deadline. They are even still debating the "Daerah Khusus Jakarta" bill, so slow DPR as usual.

I saw a picture of the TransJakarta bus with the Whoosh Train, basically it doesn't cover the entire territory of Indonesia. So I want to replace the bus Damri and the train KAI which are both owned by BUMN, not owned which Whoosh by the private sector or TransJakarta by BUMD DKI Jakarta
Whatsup236 (

High-speed trains are also part of KAI (Kereta Api Indonesia), while TransJakarta is an example of a Bus Rapid Transit system that operates in several cities in Indonesia.
Bayoka55 (

KAI does not own Whoosh, only shares in KAI, so de facto Whoosh is owned by KCIC, which is in fact a private company. While TransJakarta certainly represents the BRT system, what is discussed here is transportation that connects cities in Indonesia. and not for mobility within just one city
Whatsup236 (
talk) 12:26, 20 April 2024 (UTC)reply
According to
Supreme Court of Indonesia, a subsidiary of BUMN is still
considered as BUMN, since they serve as extension arms of BUMN business... yeah it is somewhat confusing.
However, I agree with
Whatsup236 regarding the image selection for the transportation section of the article. Since the article is about Indonesia, the image should feature transportation modes commonly found throughout the country, rather than focusing solely on those available in specific cities. Using only selected modes of transportation could give readers the wrong impression that they're widely available across Indonesia.

It seems like the High-speed Train should also be displayed here, but in a separate space because it still only covers two cities. I agree with
Whatsup236 statement that they should replace the photo. Whoosh and TransJakarta seem to represent cities in Indonesia, but do not cover all regions in Indonesia.
