In general we maintain the existing spelling variant (see
MOS:RETAIN) and do not change it without broad consensus that it should be changed, usually when the subject matter has strong
national ties. You can argue that this should be changed and reach consensus, but you'd need to do that first to actually make the edit.

That's a very good question, I don't know. Regarding the spelling, even though they use American spelling in Indonesia, it seems they use British Spelling in Malaysia, so the
MOS:TIES argument seems weak if they're native to both countries. I'm happy to just
MOS:RETAIN the current spelling, but to be perfectly honest I really don't care one way or the other, I don't think it matters.

Orangutans used to live on mainland Asia. Did they used to be much bigger on the mainland, and evolved to be smaller on the Indonesian islands due to insular dwarfism? Is there any fossil evidence to support this?

Conservation status is not appropriate here. This article is about the genus, which includes three living species. To see the conservation status of those species, you can go to the appropriate species articles. -
