[pmwiki-users] Pagelist and filtering recent changes

I have a small cms-like site (www.waco-ak.org) where the
homepage should display a list of the last five recent
changes. Clearly, certain changes should not be shown, and
that's where the problems start.
1. The trail= option seems to be (by observation) fairly
exclusive. That is, you cannot use it with a custom
list= option where filtering might take place.
2. I tried adding a filter within a custom fmt= option;
that is, testing for groups I did not want included.
I couldn't get that to work (doesn't mean it will not,
just that I lacked the skill). The fmt I use is a
slightly altered version of #forum.
3. I tried using group=-Site, -Test, -Util then an
order=-time; results here were strange (2.1.18 &
beta15) with some results showing the current machine
time. If this /should/ have worked I need to start
disabling recipes ...
So I am still using trail=Site.AllRecentChanges with a list
of groups to exclude as simple strings " -Calendar -Test
-Site ..." This works after a fashion, but risks excluding
pages on occasion (why would any page on a web site have
"site" in it?). ( -Site.?* doesn't do what I expect either.)
So, either I am missing something or I cannot do exactly
what I want (or this is the time I have to learn another
scripting language).
All ideas appreciated.
Rgds,
