Uikipaje (Called Wikipaje in Coscivian speaking countries and PagéPage in the Occident), is a Loa based media platform and e-commerace website. It primarily focuses on the selling of homemade or small business goods, with an emphasis on both home crops and produce, restaurant food and hobbyist goods such as live plants or animals within Takatta Loa, with a far more diverse market in other countries. Although it provides an online marketplace and allows for online shopping, it does not cover the cost of shipping. It does offer a discount on any Banyan Transport shipping avenue though, such as Banyan Airs and Banyan Seas, due to a partnership with the company. As of 2030, it has around 170 million users, 63 million of which were based in Takatta Loa with around 3 million Loa vendors, and generated 4 billion dollars in profit.

General

PagéPage is a dual social media platform and e-commerce site, although users of the social aspect of the site often are unassisted with the commerce aspect. There are two categories of users, vendors and browsers. Both have a photo stream where they can upload photos with captions or descriptions, and a mail system where they can communicate with others or with groups of people. Users can switch between their own photo stream and between a larger stream that consists of a semi randomized selection of photos taken from both international news sites and local users streams, if said users choose to make the stream public. Vendors also have a storefront, which is advertised on the public streams of users. They can choose between only allowing local users to see if they don't have any means of shipping and are just a local business owner, or they can advertise to a national or even international user base if they have means of shipping their product. Examining a vendor storefronts replaces the stream with a catalog of products. Users can buy online and then select shipping options or they can simply reserve/order a product and then pick it up.

Userbase

The userbase of the site is located mostly in Takatta Loa due to the company having been founded by Loa in Ninao. As such, just under half of the users are Loa, with 3 million of the five million vendors also being Loa. As such, the website has been the primary social media platform for expression of Loa culture and language, with many categories of vendors focused on specific aspects of Loa culture, such as taco vendors, sericulture vendors, rehydrated fish vendors, etc. The focus on small and local communities also has roots in Loa culture due to the strong emphasis on hometowns and supporting local businesses that is found in Takatta Loa.

It has also served as the primary means of exporting modern Loa products and culture to other countries. It is often seen as the largest and most reliable way to source local ingredients for Loa cuisine, as well as serving as a way to expand the exotic pet trade in Occidental countries due to the large pet trade in Takatta Loa. Finally, the sheer number of Loa users means that immaterial Loa culture is also slowly diffusing into the broader world, such as poorly translated slang and a general familiarity as to what it means to be Loa.

History

It originated in 2009 in Takatta Loa as a website to exchange cultivars of silkworms, which is where it derives its name from (uiki being the word for swap and ikipaje being the word for silkworm). Due to the 2010s Silkworm Trend in Takatta Loa, the site experienced a surge in users, allowing it to diversify. By 2015, it had more than 1 million users and added the ability to share photos on a profile and see other user's profiles as in a feed, though the feed only showed the most recent photos posted by the user. It began to be used as a social media website beyond the original silkworm exchange and admiration. By 2019, the website was split by the owners, with a new website called IkiPage being focused exclusively on silkworms and PagéPage being rebranded as a social media platform in addition to a virtual storefront for small vendors and business owners. A vendor could set up a page with a list of their available stock and inquiring customers can submit an order form or contact the seller directly. The website began to grow exponentially after this, attracting both social media users and vendors across the Coscivo-Loa world and Vallos. By 2025, it was the largest social media platform in Takatta Loa, with a registered 60 million Loa based users and 2 million Loa vendors.

Controversies

In 2023, it was found that PagéPage users from Akanatoa were using the site to traffic drugs outside of Takatta, leading to an internal crackdown on Akanatoa users and vendors. So far the effort has been deemed successful, although independent sources report that there is still drug trafficking occurring via the site.

PagéPage has been accused of being a form of spyware by the Loa government which has denied this accusation. The 2027 arrests of several prominent Loa politicians with connections to the Antecedent and Consensus Movements has been the source of significant attention due to the unexplained and inexplicable source of suspicion. The official reason was suspected corruption. The politicians were later released, but resigned shortly after. It is thought that the government had accessed their private Uikipage chat groups and utilized information from their to make the arrests.
