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).

The link itself could be generated partly with local data and partly
with remote data, eg. a remote template containing "[[[Flag of
{{{city}}}]]" called with a city parameter.
