Hi Denny, I'm really excited to see a sister project getting included, however I'm concerned that the community needs a bit more time and notice (I didn't see anything about this on WD:PC). When importing interwiki links for Wikipedias, we had a few months before they were used on client sites. The proposed schedule gives our bots ~3 days to import a majority of links, which I don't think is enough time. A whole week would be much better in my opinion. I've also started a page on-wiki to help coordinate the migration: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikivoyage_migration
Hey :)
There is no rush and absolutely no need to have all links migrated by the time it is turned on. The existing links in the wikitext will continue to work just fine just like they do on Wikipedia. It is absolutely fine to make this a slow migration. Please let me announce this properly in the appropriate channels when the dates are settled.
Cheers Lydia
