You don't have to take out the default one (ResolvePageName) -- if the pagename is already a PmWiki-standard pagename, then ResolvePageName leaves it alone. > >The problem with using a closing / or . at the end to indicate the > >group is that many people won't see them there, or recognize that > >they're a required part of the url. > > Yes that crossed my mind too.

While it's one approach, I don't think it "solves the problem", since the end result is to shift the work away from the computer and onto people (and add some surprises/frustration in the process). But that's just my opinion, specific sites might see this as being an acceptable approach.
