fair comment -- it was meant to imply works with pmwiki 0.6.7 and above

and seems to change the default

I agree -- I'll look into it.

If you write [[wikilog]], it uses $wikilog_home_page as the name of the
calendar's home page. This defaults to {{name of the calendar group}}.
If you write [[wikilog:SomePage]] (must be in page title format), it uses
{{SomePage}} as the home page of the calendar group.

Yes -- see above. You can fix this in one of 2 ways:

In config.php after you include wikilog.php, set

    $wikilog_home_page = 'HomePage';

or, assuming you have put [[wikilog]] in a GroupHeader page, edit it
and change [[wikilog]] to [[wikilog:HomePage]].

Could you send me a link so I can have a look? That looks like a PmWiki
break character.

It keeps getting better because people like you provide feedback.
