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.
