See http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/CreatingNewPages .

Another way to create a page as a copy of another is to use the
"template=" option. For example,
.../pmwiki.php?n=Main.SomeNewPage?action=edit?template=Main.ExistingPage
creates Main.SomeNewPage using Main.ExistingPage as the initial
source.

You really don't want to be editing the files in wiki.d directly.
Use the ?action=edit feature of PmWiki -- it's much easier and
also makes sure that all of the internal indexes and other items
are kept up-to-date.
