In the SideBar or on any other page, you can always link to pictures attached 
to another page, by providing the fully qualified link like this: 

  Attach:Group.Page/image.jpg  | attached to a page, in per-page uploads
  Attach:Group./image.jpg  | attached to a group, in per-group uploads;
                           | note the dot after Group. Group.Page works too

It is recommended to define a single $UploadPrefixFmt in config.php and *not* 
to change it in local/Group.Page.php files unless you have excellent reasons 
to do it. 

If you have different settings, you may be unable to link to attachments in 
other Groups or Pages; some recipes dealing with attachments, like Mini or 
RecentUploadsLog, may fail to work cross-group too.

PmWiki allows you amazing flexibility, but the changes you make may do exactly 
what you *ask for*, which may be not exactly what you *want*. :-)
