Indonesian Wikipedia is the edition of Wikipedia in the Indonesian language. The Indonesian Wikipedia has become the fifth fastest-growing Wikipedia in an Asian language after the Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Turkish language Wikipedias, and the third largest of any developing country (2006).

Its first article, "Electron", was written on May 30, 2003, yet its Main Page (Halaman utama) was created six months later on November 29.

As of February 2009, there were over 100,000 articles in the Indonesian Wikipedia project. And at date of December 26, 2011, Indonesian Wikipedia have over 180,000 article.

Although the Indonesian language is similar to Malay language, Indonesian Wikipedia remains separated from the Malay Wikipedia (initiated on October 2002).

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 official language with the Indonesian declaration of independence in 1945, drawing inspiration from the Sumpah Pemuda (Youth's Oath) event in 1928. It is very similar to the official Malaysian form of the language. However it does differ from the Malaysian form in some ways, with differences in pronunciation and also in vocabulary, due in large part to the many Dutch words in the Indonesian vocabulary. It is spoken as a mother tongue by only 7% of the population of Indonesia, but altogether more than 200 million people speak it.Malay language, spoken by ethnic groups who reside in the Malay Peninsula, southern Thailand, parts of the Philippines, and Singapore; also considered one of the dialects of the Indonesian language by the people of Indonesia living in central eastern Sumatra, the Riau Islands and parts of the coast of Borneo.
