PLEASE change it back. I don't agree with Roger's concerns and think
sending people to the portal is absolutely the right way to go. Even worse
than sending English readers to the English Wikivoyage directly is sending
NON-English readers to the English version directly.
It's extremely important that we show people how many language versions we
have. Direct people to the PORTAL; do not assume what language version they
want to read!!
Come on, people.

version.
The biggest number of banner impressions will be on en.Wikipedia of
course. Could someone who is an admin on Meta and knows how to do
central notice translation edits take care of setting the URLs to
//en.wikivoyage.org, especially for "en" please?
Done, but I left the default for the non-existent language versions to go to
the portal instead of directly to en.wikivoyage - that probably needs more
discussion. Expect the level of traffic received thus far to at least double
as users will now directly going to enwikivoyage.
