The main purpose is to serve something similar to Beta Wikiversity except for Wikivoyage. The reason to this is that for those in the process of building Wikivoyage, but instead unlike the incubator where experienced users who'd have to deal with all the Wiki's except Wikiversity, instead, for those interested in building Wikivoyage in a certain language, then they can get a more one on one support. It's also a lot easier to detect touting as well (which is one of the biggest problems on Wikivoyage, which would probably go undetected on the incubator).

Discussion

• Strong oppose: COVID-19 is the main reason why so many Wikivoyage tests are inactive by now or have only one active contributor. If users are blocked on the Incubator, they may continue their LTA on this project. Having it in Incubator will prevent blocked LTAs from causing their blockable behavior on Wikivoyage tests. Also no clear reasoning why this should be separate from Wikimedia Incubator. Faster than Thunder (talk) 16:48, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
