One of the Wikivoyage extensions, formerly used to add a link to a same-named article on a related site on the sidebar. The extension was removed from Wikivoyage in 2018 as much of its functionality overlaps the "In other projects" sidebar entry from Extension:Wikibase.

$wgRelatedSitesPrefixes is an array of interwiki prefixes of sites you would like to give prominence to. For example, for Wikivoyage this is:

$wgRelatedSitesPrefixes = [ 'wikipedia', 'commons' ];

Make sure you also have these prefixes set up in $wgExtraInterlanguageLinkPrefixes .
