Please try to avoid top-posting. Thanks.

>From pmwiki.php:

## ResolvePageName "normalizes" a pagename based on the current
## settings of $DefaultPage and $PagePathFmt.  It's normally used
## during initialization to fix up any missing or partial pagenames.

It makes use of MakePageName:

## MakePageName is used to convert a string into a valid pagename.
## If no group is supplied, then it uses $PagePathFmt to look
## for the page in other groups, or else uses the group of the
## pagename passed as an argument.
