One last thing:

It looks like you may have already created several pages. You don't have 
to delete them and start from scratch.

If you look at the wiki.d directory, you'll see that each page is a 
separate file, with the name Group.Subject. Just edit the page names 
accordingly. You may have to delete .pageindex as well.

Cheers!
