It all looks very complicated, but once you do it a few times, you'll find it MUCH easier than it looks, and a real time-saver compared to doing manual notifications.

; General

• If you have Wikipedia:Mass message senders permissions, set up your MMS target page for FARs, eg User:SandyGeorgia/MMStargets.
• Bookmark the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MassMessage page you will need for actually sending the message].
• Consider saving a sample nomination statement, with sample content you will end up pasting in to the new FAR, eg #Sample. I add the notification list there so I just have to update the URLs to the notifications and paste the whole thing in after I've written the nom statement.

; Before starting the FAR nom:

• Remember to edit the URFA page (WP:URFA/2020A or WP:URFA/2020B) to switch the Noticed entry to FAR followed by the date ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Unreviewed_featured_articles/2020/2010–2015&diff=prev&oldid=1185244131 sample])
• Remember to remove the Notice from WP:FARGIVEN [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Featured_article_review/notices_given&diff=prev&oldid=1185243969] (while you're there, you can edit-copy the notification diff to edit-paste it into the URL for your new nomination as in #Sample

; Setting up the MMS targets

• Go to the FAC for the FA you are nominating to find the name of the original nominator; add that to the targets ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SandyGeorgia/MMStargets&diff=prev&oldid=1185244431 sample])
• Go to the article stats on the FA, browse to find most active (and most recently active) editors, and add them to the targets page ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SandyGeorgia/MMStargets&diff=next&oldid=1185244431 sample])
• Remember to check the article talk page for any very active editors
• On the article talk page, grab the list of WikiProjects, copy them over to the targets page, and edit them to remove the trailing content, and add [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject ... in front of each entry ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SandyGeorgia/MMStargets&diff=next&oldid=1185244788 sample])
• If you're new to this, click on each of your target samples to make sure you're sending them to the right place

; Setting up the FAR nom

• Copy-paste the noticed diff to your #Sample, eg [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SandyGeorgia/sandbox5&diff=prev&oldid=1185244034]
• Copy-paste the last version of your MMS targets to your Sample, eg [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SandyGeorgia/sandbox5&diff=next&oldid=1185244034]
• Write your nom blurb at your sample, eg [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SandyGeorgia/sandbox5&diff=next&oldid=1185245024]
• Initiate the FAR with {{subst:FAR}} on the talk page of the article
• Copy your sample text with notifications in (making sure to leave the header info, and only replace from where the smalled notifications begin)
• Add your nom to the top of WP:FAR

; Send Notifications

Now the FAR nom is done, on the FAR page, and you're ready to send the MMS notifications

• Go to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MassMessage MassMessage send page] and fill in
• "Page or category containing list of pages to leave a message on" is your MMS target page (eg User:SandyGeorgia/MMStargets)
• "Subject of the message" is: Name of article followed by Featured article review (this will appear as the edit summary, for example, FC Barcelona Featured article review yields [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Catalonia&oldid=1185246094#FC_Barcelona_Featured_article_review this when sent])
• "Page to be sent as the message" (leave blank-- no idea what this is, haven't used it)
• "Body of the message": {{subst:FARMessage|articlename}} ~~~~
• Don't forget to sign, and the FARMessage subst may need to be adjusted if it is a second FAR nomination)
• Preview
• Send ... done!

:Notified: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SandyGeorgia/MMStargets&oldid=1189078605 Mass Message Send notifications], talk page notice noticed [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Borobudur&diff=prev&oldid=1183002111 2023-11-01]

The FAC nominator for this 2007 promotion has been gone since 2008, and the article has not been maintained to FA standards. Concern listed on [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Borobudur&diff=prev&oldid=1183002111 2023-11-01] include uncited text; inconsistent citation style; Wikipedia articles listed as sources; further reading and external links need pruning or to be worked in to the article; and incomplete citations. Much of the content is cited to dated sources and the article may be outdated.

I am reviewing this (old or very old) FA as part of WP:URFA/2020, an effort to determine whether old featured articles still meet the featured article criteria.
