Incubator is different from Commons and Wikispecies. Incubator contains many
language versions of the same topic, while Commons and Wikispecies contain one
(supposedly multilingual) page about a unique topic. That is both multilingual,
but in a different way.

Unlike Commons and Wikispecies, Incubator should not exist in Wikidata.
Instead, it should be possible to link to Incubator pages as being a page in
that language version of Wikipedia (or Wikiquote/...) and not as being an
Incubator page.
It is already this way: it is possible to add interlanguage-links to any
language in the "langlist" even though the subdomain does not exist (using e.g.
[[ace:Page]] on a Wikiquote will go to the Aceh Wikiquote on Incubator). I
would like to keep it this way, or even extend it to languages known to
MediaWiki (or maybe even all languages in CLDR or ISO 639).

As for Commons and Wikispecies, they could perhaps be shown as interlanguage
links since they are a multilingual version of a certain topic, or Wikidata
could be a used as a solution for bug 708, in which case Commons and
Wikispecies could be shown in the sidebar as interproject links. These are the
two possible approaches, I don't know what's the best one. In the second case,
Incubator could be part of them if you use it to link articles about a certain
language to its Incubator test wiki (i.e. like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Incubator).
