Thanks Marcel, but this is still not quite clear.

I have several wikis, run as a farm:

            http://foo.bar.com/OneWiki/
            http://foo.bar.com/TwoWiki/
            http://foo.bar.com/ThreeWiki/
            http://foo.bar.com/FourWiki/

I set

        user_homewiki = 'OneWiki'

and 'OneWiki' is already an entry in intermap.txt.  It seems like I
would not want to change the interwiki name for TwoWiki, ThreeWiki or
FourWiki, would I?  Because then other pages would get screwed up if I
tried to link between wikis.
  
When I'm on TwoWiki, how does MoinMoin know that the wiki page
TedStern is actually a homepage on OneWiki?  It clearly works for my
personal homepage when I'm logged in, but I don't see how it can work
for other users.  If I'm logged in as TedStern, I'd like to be able to
click on 

           http://foo.bar.com/FourWiki/JoeUser

and be taken directly to

           http://foo.bar.com/OneWiki/JoeUser

instead.
