Disable the Nearby feature on some sister projects
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

On some sister projects such as Wiktionary, Wikisource, Wikiquote, Wikiversity, Wikibooks, or Wikinews, the Nearby feature is redundant. Unlike Wikipedia or Wikivoyage, these projects don’t present geographically-relevant information as separate pages. The link to Special:Nearby in the collapsible sidebar is confusing.
