I did this already, as part of consolidating my farm.

Still not clear:

I have farmconfig.py, onewiki.py, twowiki.py, etc.

What I currently do is set

    interwikiname = 'OneWiki'

in farmconfig.py, but in twowiki.py, threewiki.py, etc., I set

    interwikiname = 'TwoWiki'

or
    interwikiname = 'ThreeWiki',

etc., so that the main page link at the top of the page will work.
And I still don't see how this works for links to other user's
UserName homepages.
