[[Lemuria]] is one of the few OWOT users who also use Wplace. On the site, he has worked on numerous projects globally, such as multiple signs in ~~{{wpd|~~Port Elizabeth}}, South Africa. Lemuria has considered starting a fan wiki for Wplace to document the occurences on the site, but has not found the time, or the computing resources to do so.

Wplace uses the Mercator projection. Pixels are not intended to map cleanly onto specific coordinates. Wplace divides the world into a 2048×2048 grid, making for 4,194,304 tiles. These tiles are 1000×1000 pixels, giving a total of 4,194,304,000,000 pixels; over 4.1 trillion. Wplace's coordinate system assigns four coordinates to each pixel; tile X, tile Y, and within that tile, pixel X and pixel Y. The official interface displays these in the format "(Tl X: 597, Tl Y: 783, Px X: 43, Px Y: 408)", though Lemuria uses a shorter format, "597.43, 783.408" (tileX.pixelX, tileY.pixelY).
