As far as I know, voy: is a valid interwiki to en.wikivoyage.org but
wikivoyage: is not yet a valid prefix. To change these links will require that
a robot be unleashed on every wiki with a {{wikitravel}} or {{wikitravelpar}}
template to stick a {{wikivoyage}} template in its place with the voy: prefix.
That hits a few odd languages like Cebuano or Romanian, as well as most of the
majors (except Spanish and Japanese, which killed off the template years ago as
IB spam)

There should be no links from anything WMF to a direct competitor's site;
failing that, rel="nofollow" is a bare minimum. It will also be likely
necessary at some point to start contacting owners of external (non-WMF,
non-IB) sites who currently link to WT, politely explain the situation and ask
they update these links.

Search engines tend to penalise duplicate content; to convince them that we are
the main site and IB is the fork, we need as many links as possible pointing to
wikivoyage.org and no links pointing to the old WT domain. Anything less allows
IB to fragment the project as readers are directed in error to the abandoned
fork, where staff are systematically censoring all information that the primary
contributors have left for Wikivoyage.
