A huge number of articles at en.wikivoyage are suddenly missing their extracts on the V1 REST API summary call. For example, France (empty string in the "extract" field) and New York City (just a newline character). Has something changed with the parser here? Thanks.

Perhaps it's something to do with en.wv's page banner template. I removed it as a test from one article, and it restored the extract via the API. But then London has a page banner template, and the extract there works just fine. Something is making the extract parser choke.
Bizarrely, if you delete Wikiwoyage's page banner template from a page, save the page (at which time the extract field will be restored), and then restore the page banner template, the extract will be still be there! This implies a very lame solution of finding every single page in Wikivoyage with the broken extract and then deleting/restoring the page banner template, but seems like this is indicative of something else? Caching by the REST API or something?

Thanks. I think that's probably it. I added a comment about the Pagebanner template.
