[pmwiki-users] Discussion link / talk link help

I'm using this from http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/CommentPageLink

Simple Discuss-link solution

Here's a simple alternative solution that creates a "Discuss" link that 
toggles to and from a page and the page's corresponding -Talk page.

First we need a {$TalkBaseName} page variable so we can link back to a page 
from its -Talk page. These lines in config.php accomplish that:

## Crate a "basename" for "-Talk" pages.
if (preg_match('/-Talk$/', $pagename)) {
  $talkbasename = preg_replace("/-Talk\$/", '', $pagename);
  $FmtPV['$TalkBaseName'] = "'$talkbasename'";
}

Next, put this markup in Site.PageActions:

(:if match ^.*\-Draft$:)(:else if match ^.*\-Talk$:)
* %item              class=browse    %[[{*$TalkBaseName} |''Discuss'']]
(:else:)
* %item              class=browse    %[[{*$FullName}-Talk | Discuss ]]
(:if:)

That's it. Note that a discussion link won't be shown for -Draft@ pages. 
Likewise, you can avoid saving drafts of discussion pages by altering the 
line that enables drafts.

if (! preg_match('/-Talk$/', $pagename)) $EnableDrafts = 1;

This solution works if you're using the PmWiki skin or any other skin that is 
compatible with the default Site.PageActions. With a little modification it 
will work in a sidebar.

This works great, thanks to Hagan for writing it up. My question is how can I 
get all $group.$name-Talk pages to go into a dedicated group (let's say 
the "Comments" group or "Talk" group) instead of the same group the original 
page is in?
