I think a note to this effect needs to be added to the upgrade
instructions. When I changed from 2 beta 40 to 2.0.10 I spent a lot
of time chasing down a rogue SideBar page that turned out to be
Main.SideBar left over in wikilib.d. There were other "lurkers" in
there as well and I just trashed the existing wikilib.d and replaced it.
The "copy over the top" technique was replacing new pages, but not
removing deprecated ones (on WIndoze...).
