I am interested in that feature. I have made some tests, with two
overlapping wikis (like wiki.debian.org and wiki.debian.org/User)

my farmconfig.py looks like:
        wikis = [
            ("user-wiki", r"[^/]*/User.*"),
            ("main-wiki", r".*"), 
        ]

But there's a problem with such overlap: Most user won't notice that
it's two different wikis. Typically, if a user wants to link to a main
wiki page from their own wiki page, they are very likely to write
[[SamplePage]] instead of [[DebianWiki:SamplePage]]. The first link
would point to wiki.debian.org/User/SamplePage (instead of
wiki.debian.org/SamplePage).

Do you have a hint for such overlapping problem?
