This should cause someone opening

   pmwiki.php?n=Category

to be sent to

   pmwiki.php?n=Category.Categories

Also, if in a page from the Category/ group you link to [[OtherGroup/]] 
and there is a page [[OtherGroup.Categories]], it may link to it, and 
this may not be what you want.

Is this in the file pmwiki/local/Category.php ? When you use this code, 
any opened page will be replaced with [[Category.Categories]]. If this 
is in Category.php you cannot open any category page; if in config.php 
you cannot open any page other than Category.Categories.


Setting $DefaultName (and $PagePathFmt) controls which page is shown 
when there is only a group name provided in the URL, AND in a page, 
which page is linked to when there is only a group name provided. If you 
set these variables in a per-group customization, you *will* have 
problems when cross-group linking providing only a group name like 
[[Category/]] or [[OtherGroup/]].

PmWiki allows you to change the title of a page, for example in the page 
[[Category.Category]] place the markup (:title Categories:) and people 
will see that title. If this is not enough, you can use a (:redirect 
Categories quiet=1:) to automatically send any visitors to the other 
page.

It also allows you to link to a precise page like 
[[Category/Categories]] instead of [[Category/]] if that is what you 
prefer.
