Um, is sending people to the portal good? Let's think about this. Many people might not go any farther than one click into a banner (how far would you go?). Are we wasting their time if we only show the to the portal in that one click? What of interest is there on the portal? Not much at all. Zilch rather. Much better to show them to a Wikivoyage Main Page which has a much better change showing them something they are interested in.
So I think we want the URL to be '''//en.wikivoyage.org''' for _all translations_ except only the 8 non-English versions of Wikivoyage (de, es, fr, it, nl, pt, ru, sv) which could link to their respective 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?
Feel free to discuss here first.. but please give this some thought. I think people want to see our Main Page in one banner click, not the portal. I need to turn in for the night. Will see you all in the morning!
Roger :-)

The banner is launched.
Can we turn it off on Wikivoyage.org itself? Since the sites also have
their own welcome banners it's a bit overkill.
Sure, done.
