This most likely won't ever be a part of official PmWiki, but:

    Markup('{$BaseName}', '>{$fmt}',
      '/{\\$BaseName}/',
      str_replace('-', '.', $pagename, 1));

Then you can do

    [[{$BaseName}]]

and it will convert Comments.Group-Name to be "Group.Name".

Note that this won't work if there are any hyphens in the group name.
