Issue encountered after migrating Liferay from version 7.4-ga132 to 2026.Q1.6 involving Site Templates and page import/export behavior.

After migration, pages associated with a migrated Site Template are no longer properly created or imported.

# Scenario 1 — Site creation from migrated Site Template

## Steps to Reproduce

1. In Liferay 7.4:
  - Create a Site Template
  - Add several pages to the template
  - Create a site from this template
  - Verify that pages are correctly created

2. Upgrade/migrate the portal to Liferay 2026.Q1
3. In Liferay 2026.Q1:
  - Create a new site from the migrated Site Template

* * *

## Expected Result

The new site should be created with all pages inherited from the Site Template.

## Actual Result

The site is created successfully, but no pages are created.

The created site is empty.

# Scenario 2 — LAR export/import issue after migration

## Steps to Reproduce

1. In Liferay 7.4:
  - Create a site from the Site Template
  - Export the site as a `.lar`

2. Upgrade/migrate the portal to Liferay 2026.Q1
3. In Liferay 2026.Q1:
  - Create an empty site
  - Import the `.lar` exported from 7.4

* * *

## Expected Result

All pages from the exported site should be imported successfully.

* * *

## Actual Result

The import completes, but pages are not imported.

The target site remains empty.

* * *

# Additional Information

During import, the following exception is observed:

com.liferay.segments.exception.SegmentsExperienceNameException

Stack trace indicates the issue occurs during page experience (`SegmentsExperience`) validation:

SegmentsExperienceLocalServiceImpl.\_validateName
