Monmouthpedia (styled as MonmouthpediA) is a collaborative project linking the online encyclopaedia Wikipedia and the town of Monmouth in Wales.[2][3][4]
The project uses QRpedia QR codes to provide multilingual smart phone access to Wikipedia articles covering notable subjects in Monmouth, such as places, people, artefacts, flora and fauna.[5] It was formally launched on 19 May 2012, and led to Monmouth being described as the "world's first Wikipedia town", "world's first Wikitown project".[6][7][8] The project was awarded the "Excellence in Marketing" award at the Monmouthshire Business Awards.
