Hans,
Good point about PageName. Maybe "Somepage" should be an option too.
So maybe the Documentation Index should read:
Creating a new group is as easy as CreatingNewPages; simply edit an
existing page to include a link to a page in the new group using one
of the following formats:
Groupname/SomePage
Groupname.SomePage
[[Groupname/SomePage]]
[[Groupname.Some Page]]
[[Groupname.Somepage]]
(see also [[Links]]). Then click on the '?' to edit the page.
