Twylite, 2009/09/12: If you set $DefaultName = 'Home' and then create a link to a group that doesn't exist yet (for example [[NewGroup/]]) you will be taken to NewGroup.NewGroup?action=edit rather than the expected NewGroup.Home?action=edit.

To solve this you must change $PagePathFmt in config.php:

  $PagePathFmt = array('{$Group}.$1','$1.{$DefaultName}','$1.$1');
