The Wolof Misplaced Pages is the edition of Misplaced Pages in the Wolof language. It currently has 1,709 articles.
The Misplaced Pages was started in the beginning of 2005, along with the Bambara Misplaced Pages and the Fula Misplaced Pages. Kasper Souren, a Dutchman who worked with Geekcorps, wrote in a report to an open source conference that until 2006 "not much happened" on the Wolof Misplaced Pages. Up until that year, many small articles with very little content were posted.
In April 2007 Ibrahima Fall (username Ibou), a Senegalese student living in Italy, began adding substantial content to the Wolof Misplaced Pages. It had 500 articles in November 2007, 543 articles in June 2008, and 1028 articles in August 2015.
