However, you'd have to worry that each

Infinite loops could only happen if both wikis can fetch from the other
one. A simple solution would be to pass with the query who requested it
originally. If the home wiki calls a different wiki, it would blame the
one who asked for it (or maybe building a wiki + template path).
or request can have something like a deep counter, to stop request
that need more than N iterations. So if you get a request with deep >
20, you can ignore that request. This don't stop a evil wiki passing
a false deep level, but the idea of interwiki is a network built on
top of the www of wikis you trusth, so you will not add a evil wiki
