Wikipedia:WikiProject Malaysia

Welcome to WikiProject Malaysia on the English-language Wikipedia, a WikiProject dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Malaysia on subjects with national, regional and international significance. The project was formed on 4 August 2007 to coordinate the development of Malaysia-related articles and to maintain the Malaysia Portal. WikiProject Malaysia also serves as a venue for Wikipedia editors to share information and resources regarding the improvement of articles related to Malaysia.

As of 26 October 2026, there are 20,525 articles within the scope of WikiProject Malaysia, of which 23 are featured and 109 are good articles. This makes up 0.28% of the articles on Wikipedia, 0.19% of all featured articles and lists, and 0.24% of all good articles. Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etc., there are 63,426 pages in the project.

  7. Standardise the style and format of articles on Malaysia or Malaysian subjects according to Manual of Style
  8. Cleanup all the Malaysia-related articles with appropriate template or links
  9. Standardise the use of Malay-language terms, names, and translations into English across all related articles
  10. Patrol recent changes to existing Malaysia-related articles for vandalism and poor-quality edits, and correct them to maintain the articles

  12. Patrol recent article creation related to Malaysia with accordance to New Pages Patrol
  13. Give help to any Wikipedian with any problem of Malaysia-related articles, topics etc.

Scope

  • The present day area of Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia, and former entities that were closely linked with those territories (e.g. Malaya, British Malaya, British North Borneo, Singapore (1963–1965), Malacca Sultanate etc).
  • Anything physical that is located inside Malaysia (e.g. buildings, organizations, nature in Malaysia etc).
  • Any local or international events held in Malaysia (e.g. national day, regional conference, international sporting events etc).
  • Anyone who is a current, naturalized or former Malaysian citizen, born in Malaysia, or has spent significant time of their life in Malaysia for their work (e.g. Governors of British Malaya). Non-Malaysian citizens who passed away in Malaysia are not included in the scope.
  • International presence and events with Malaysian relevance or participation (e.g. embassies of Malaysia, Malaysian bilateral relations, Malaysian participation in international organizations etc).
  • Coverage of the Malay language is not included within WikiProject Malaysia by default (it should be part of WikiProject Languages), although articles covering specific usage within Malaysia are included in the scope.

Assessment

  • 3.9% List-Class
  • 45.2% Stub-Class
  • 39.5% Start-Class
  • 8.4% C-Class
  • 2% B-Class
  • 0.5% GA-Class
  • 0.1% FA-Class
  • 0.3% remaining

Any member of WikiProject Malaysia may assess Malaysia-related articles by following the guidelines and instructions. If you aren't sure about an article, ask about it on the assessment talk page.

Any individual editors may rate stub, start, C-class or B-class for quality of an article. An A-class is the highest scale, assigned after a formal review by the project as a whole, rather than at the discretion of individual reviewers. Request of an A-class is possible through an A-class assessment request. The final assessment (rejecting/granting) is given after all reviews are taken care, especially for objections/oppositions.

Good Article (GA) and Featured Article (FA) are quality scales that are awarded through peer review outside the WikiProject. Guidelines and rules on how to nominate an article are given in the corresponding GA/FA pages. Usually, an article of B- or A-scale from the project has a good chance to pass the Good Article criteria. Furthermore, a GA-scale article has a good chance to pass the Featured Article criteria.
