As far as I can tell the markup is working -- the Main.WikiSandbox
page isn't on the DIY trial, so no forward and backward links
are displayed.  If you were to put Main.WikiSandbox on the DIY trail,
or use the (:trail:) markup on a page that is on the trail, you'd
see the forward and backward links.

What are you expecting to see there?

(Also, note that others on this list and other recipes have mentioned
using a markup of "(:trail:)"; I don't know if anything came of that.)
