It helps to understand the context/reason for the interlinking. For example, I admin both the Kim Possible Wiki and the Kim Possible Fanon Wiki. The first is for CANON info about the franchise, the second if for FANON(fan fics, fan art, etc) about the franchise.

When on the fanon wiki and writing an article, let's say Kim Possible herself, instead of wasting time and space providing full canon details (repeating on multiple pages since there are many many many fanfics out there, each to have its own set of pages), I have templates which will link over to her page on the canon wiki in a format similar to "Main article:" we have "Canon Article:".

The simplest usage of the interlink template will be between pages which have the same name, i.e., "Kim Possible" (PAGENAME on fanon) to "Kim Possible" (PAGENAME on canon). However, since sometimes fanon gives a character a different name from canon (cause fanfics are like that at times) the link is also designed to go from a ficPAGENAME to canonPAGENAME. I.e, "Kim Rockwaller" (fic) to "Kim Possible" (canon), or "Ken Possible" to "Kim Possible", etc…

So understanding *why* and *how* you want these interlinks to work will help with designing what you want and need.
