TarfayaPedia is the first initiative in the Arab world to create a whole Wiki Town, its Tarfaya; a small town in South of Morocco. the project aims to enrich and to improve coverage of the local content in its various forms on the Wikipedia platform in as many languages as possible.

TarfayaPedia uses QRpedia codes, a type of bar code a smartphone can read through its camera (using one of the many free QR readers available) that takes you to a Wikipedia article in your language. QR codes are extremely useful, as physical signs have no way of displaying the same amount of information and in a potentially huge number of languages.

Articles have coordinates (geotags) to allow a virtual tour of the town using Wikipedia's mobile apps (or the Wikipedia layer on Google Streetview) and are available in augmented reality software including Layar. TarfayaPedia does not use standard black and white QR codes, in order to differentiate between our codes and other schemes and individual's codes.
