Any value in one of the following?

ppage      for Group.SomePage indicating that the page is "pinned" to a  
group
page       for SomePage without the Group.

or

folio      for Group.SomePage
page       for SomePage without the Group.

Of course, gpage could be used but it caused me to think that it  
represented
the group's page and not simply a page within a group.

BTW having a clear difference between Group.SomePage and SomePage would  
sure
help me.
