Try adding the following to config.php /after/ you include wikilog.php:
Markup('daylink','>inline',
    "/\[\[((?:$GroupPattern\/)?($CalendarPattern))\]\]/e",
    "Keep(MakeDateLink(\$pagename,'$1',((IsDate('$2')) ? longdate('$2') : '$2')),'L')");

This is not super-elegant, but it means you can prevent accidental
date links by writing [[Group.yyyymmdd]] or [[group.yyyymmdd]] or
[[group/yyyymmdd]]. It only makes dates out of [[Group/yyyymmdd]]
and [[yyyymmdd]]. We can get more sophisticated if needed.

As to why I added yyyy-mm-dd -> long date, it's to support the 
wikiforms script, which often inserts dates, that you want to 
see displayed in a friendly manner.

Hope this clarifies.
