I think you got a point there Wade. i would prefer the expression
"Group.SomePage" over "GroupName.Wikiword", because the groupname does
not need to be  a wiki (camel) word, in fact i find it cumbersome. Of
course Somepage does not need to be a wiki word either, so
"Group.Pagename" is sufficient. butr  then you really need the double
square brackets around it to make it into a link, whereas for
Group.WikiWord you don't need the brackets. Maybe both can be
mentioned: with brackets and without.

My suggestion:
 Creating a new group is as easy as CreatingNewPages; simply edit an
 existing page to include a link to a page in the new group using one
 of the  following formats: Groupname/SomePage, [[Groupname/SomePage]],
 Groupname.SomePage or [[Groupname.Some Page]] (see also [[Links]]).
 Then click on  the '?' to edit the page.

Best,
Hans
