Naive  admin here; I have yet to study $SearchPatterns
and how to implement them in page lists...

will do that later, but it doesn't get me what I need.

OK this works really well:

(:pagelist list=group $g0=1 fmt=#group :)

But there is one Caveat:

if a user creates a new group and a new page like this:

MarvelousCluster.PageListExamples

the group "MarvelousCluster"

does not appear in the list of $g0=1

apparently the recipes requires that a home page
exist in advance:

MarvelousCluster.MarvelousCluster

If I create  that page  and save it only then will

"MarvelousCluster" appear in the page list.

What we need is for "MarvelousCluster" to appear in the page list
and if I click on it then I get the standard PMwiki prompt that
'the page does not exist and would I like to create:

MarvelousCluster.MarvelousCluster?
