Wikipedia:WikiProject Adelaide/Suburbs/List of Port Adelaide articles

Adelaide Meetup Next: 15 November 2024 Last: 6 March 2020 |
This is a list of existing and proposed Wikipedia articles on places, people, events, etc in relation to the broad geographic area of "Port Adelaide", including areas adjacent to the Barker Inlet - Port River Estuary.
The list was originally compiled as a resource for the construction of a semantic media wiki for Port Adelaide wiki, for discussion at the Adelaide Wikipedia Users Group meetup on 27 August 2014.
The original concept of the semantic media wiki was launched at the Port Adelaide Library on 7 May 2015, but progress on this project stalled and subsequently work started on constructing the Port Adelaide Wiki (PAW).
The original concept involved, as a first step,inputting data via 'forms' into the semantic media wiki. In the table below, these are marked as "form only". Where stub articles have been created in PAW, these are marked as "stub". (Links will be added at a later date.)
