the question seams to be if  its needed for access the page or to 
display a title. For example, in the case of a glossary  the use of 
pagenames would allow  to reference with a common wikilink 
[[Glossary.PWM]] directly to  the entry in the form. So far I 
funderstand, this wouldnt be possible with the above solution.
