[pmwiki-users] discussion pages?

[Jon Haupt]

It would be good too to be able to create something similar for 
comments-group use - so that in the comments group, the link is a backlink 
instead of a self-link.

e.g. in most of the wiki you'd want

[[Comments.{$Group}-{$Name | Comments]]

but in the Comments group you'd prefer something that extracted

[[{$Group}.{$Name}]] somehow from the page title (presumably by changing - 
to .)
