Right. So, you have a definition like this in farmconfig.py:

user_homewiki = u"UserWiki"

It looks like the function that tries to identify the InterWiki reference 
(MoinMoin.wikiutil.resolve_interwiki) fails to find the wiki (UserWiki in your 
case) and helpfully returns a reference to the InterWiki page.

The InterWikiMap page could probably be modified to include UserWiki. I guess 
you'd have to do that on all wikis, though. But it also seems that you can 
have a global map of InterWiki definitions, too:

https://moinmo.in/HelpOnConfiguration#paths

The shared_intermap setting seems to allow you to specify the location of a 
file, apparently containing definitions in the same format as the InterWikiMap 
page, that can hold a definition for UserWiki. I notice that an interwiki.txt 
file residing in a wiki's data directory can also do this job as well.

Anyway, I hope this gives you a few ideas.
