Reforming the Featured Article process in the Indonesian Wikipedia
Wikimania 2019

Similar to other Wikipedia, the Indonesian Wikipedia has a featured article process to identify our best works and feature them in the home page. Before 2018, it was selected by yes/no community voting. The tendency of voters to be lax caused the passing of dozens of “FAs” with very low quality. Since late 2018, we implemented a new process which has significantly improved the quality of our featured articles using better rules and processes, modeled from the English Wikipedia FA but adapted to ours due to limited resources. In this presentation we will discuss the problem, why this is important for wikis like ours, our solution, and future directions. We will end the session with a Q&A session where the audience can also provide input and feedback.
