There are some namespaces across all wikis suposed to have subpages enabled however, for Wikivoyages, if we do not explicitly enable them for the namespaces we want the defaults ain't applying.
See for example https://es.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Plantilla:Bots/doc and https://de.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Vorlage:Bots/Doku
The NS_TEMPLATE should have subpages by default on all projects according to the config. Yet on es.wikivoyage template subpages ain't working.
