Yes and no.  When doing the search PmWiki is likely finding 
Main.WikiSandBox in wiki.d/ and it's finding Main.WikiSandbox in
wikilib.d/, so it does its case-sensitive comparison and thinks they're
two separate pages.  However, whenever someone requests the sandbox
page (in any letter case), it'll always grab the wiki.d/ version because
Windows treats both "Main.WikiSandbox" and "Main.WikiSandBox" as being
valid names for the file in wiki.d/.

In short, Main.WikiSandbox is "special" only because there's a version
of the page distributed in wikilib.d/ .

Try deleting the sandbox page (in wiki.d/) and the double-entry should
disappear.
