Yes and no. The demand on importing "content" pages is not high -
despite there exists a "move to [insert sister project here]" option in
XfD (seen on zhwiki), the usage is really low, as those who picked the
wrong project to contribute on probably lack the ability to write
anything good enough in the first place. Also, moving to Wikinews is not
an option due to licensing issues.

However, sharing templates between projects is still useful, especially
for new and small wikis and the incubator. Small wikis can benefit from
importing established templates and modules from larger wikis, translate
the messages, and further modify it per local consensus, while handing
off the issue of attribution to the system. However, this is not often
seen on older wikis, as Special:Import is not as easy to deal with as an
`git pull`.
