You can, for one, create the page Issues.Issues, or Issues.HomePage, or 
Issues.$DefaultName (if you have defined it).

To change this in config.php, look at the page 
   http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PagePaths

To disable searching for pages in other groups, you can set 

   $PagePathFmt = array('$Group.$1');

This will cause [[Page]] to always link to "Page" in the current group, 
regardless of the existence of "Page" in other groups like Main.

I have a feeling that this setting had some unwanted side effects, but I 
cannot remember what they were. I remember at one point I decided to switch 
back to 
   $PagePathFmt = array('{$Group}.$1','$1.$DefaultName','$1.$1');
