Since the community from Wikitravel has mostly migrated to Wikivoyage, I'm suggesting we mandate that if you see a new answer with a Wikitravel link in it, we alter it to the equivalent Wikivoyage link.

I sincerely hope and expect that Wikivoyage will soon take over Wikitravel as the dominant user-contributed travel guide.
However, I think that for deciding whether to link to Wikivoyage or Wikitravel, we should decide on a per-case basis what article is better. Now I would suspect that in most cases, the Wikivoyage article is going to be better, in particular since the free license guarantees that any good material added to Wikitravel can be copied over to Wikivoyage. But before mandating this, I propose we collect some evidence that Wikivoyage really is better for the end user.
Systematically deleting links to one site and replacing them by links to another site would be a very tough measure.
If I post an answer, and I add a link to a site A, then I probably have a good reason to do so. I believe that this link conveys useful and relevant information. I would be irritated if this link was deleted and replaced by a link to a site B, just because of some "private" or "ideological" reasons.
If some users think that a link is not appropriate they can either add a comment and post an alternative, or downvote they answer if they don't agree. And in really severe cases the answer could be flagged for moderation.
Seems like a political move. I cannot support this.
And certain circumstances, it would not even make sense, like this user has already done here:
https://travel.stackexchange.com/posts/7995/revisions
It makes it sound like the edit in question was ripped off from Wikivoyage, whereas it was actually ripped off from Wikitravel, where the original edit was made (apparently by the same user?). There wasn't even an english language version of wikivoyage when that edit was made! Just confusing as all heckfire.
I say no.
For these reasons, we should migrate links from WikiTravel to WikiVoyage.
Please keep this answer's score at -1 so that new answers are not eclipsed when sorting by votes.
In order to make it easier to compare the quality of Wikitravel and Wikivoyage, and to edit links if warranted, here is a list of all the links to Wikitravel on the main site as of 2012-02-10. (I hope I got it right, I was surprised to find only 209 posts including tag wikis.)
