Freopedia

Freopedia began as a project to install QRpedia codes at sites around Fremantle, Western Australia to link people to articles on Wikipedia.

[1] It has since evolved into a WikiTown project aiming to build comprehensive coverage of Fremantle on Wikipedia.

[2][3] Fremantle is the first city in Australia to have such a project, and thus a virtual tour of its historic sites.

[8] The creation of content on Wikipedia and the driving force of the project has come from the work of Wikipedian editors.

The latter produced eight of their own plaques, of blue plastic, and are (as of March 2014[update]) installing them around Victoria Quay and the Maritime Museum.
