United Development Party: what Wikipedia removed
The United Development Party (PPP) is Indonesia’s Islam-rooted political party, formed from a merger of Islamic parties in 1973. As of October 6, 2023 the opening called it an Islamist political party and said it “once again became an Islamist party in the early Post-Suharto era.” Today’s opening calls it only an “Islam-based political party,” though islamist survives seven times in the body. A reader today learns the party is Islam-based, not that Wikipedia’s own opening once called it Islamist.
The word “islamist” appeared 3 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 6 October 2023. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 7. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
