Islamic Democratic Party (Maldives): what Wikipedia removed

The Islamic Democratic Party was a political party in the Maldives active from 2005 to 2013. Through 2015 the opening called it “an Islamist political party from the Maldives.” Today the opening calls it only “an Islamic political party,” the word Islamist surviving once elsewhere in the article. A reader today learns the party was Islamic and not that Wikipedia’s own text once classified it, in Wikipedia’s own words, as Islamist.

The word “islamist” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 1. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.

Counts are of the opening paragraph only, the part most readers, search engines and AI training sets ever quote.

What was taken out

Section titled “What was taken out”
  • The identical sentence calling the party an Islamist political party, the source of the word swapped to ‘Islamic’ in the current opening.

  • The list naming the party’s six founding members, dropped from the opening.
  • The sentence on founding member Mohamed Haneef’s background as a police officer who resigned from the military, dropped from the opening.
