[pmwiki-users] page naming oddity or bug

At 2005-02-10  10:14 AM -0600, Patrick R. Michaud is rumored to have said:

Aha! This does work (although I presume you meant for me to delete the page 
in wikilib.d/).

It also explains why I have seen double entries for:
         Main.HomePage      Main.Homepage
         Main.SideBar      Main.Sidebar
         Main.WikiSandbox  Main.WikiSandBox

because they all exist in  wikilib.d/  as well.
