No worries about the timeliness of your responses. While this is a problem, it's not a major or urgent one.
I tried what you suggested and it worked! I got the updated HelpOnFormatting page out of the wiki when I moved the one that was in data/pages to /tmp, cleaned out the cache, and refreshed my browser page. Looks like I'll be doing some cleanup in data/pages on my test system and then in production. Thanks again. I'm going to consider this matter resolved at this point.

As far as I recall, I never saw any errors from them. I don't remember when the underlay system was introduced, but I think I first encountered it having already been using Moin for a while, so perhaps your old version didn't employ the underlay for help pages and had them all installed in the pages directory. I see that Moin 1.3 featured the underlay, at least: https://moinmo.in/MoinMoinRelease1.3 Why the pages didn't have their markup converted is a mystery to me, however. > Should the pages that are in "underlay" also exist in "data"?

(Sorry about the top reply vs. > inline. Stuck using Outlook.) It's probably safe to try running without the duplicated help pages residing in the pages directory. Perhaps moving one of the page directories (pages/HelpOnFormatting, for example) out of the Moin installation to somewhere temporary, then possibly cleaning the Moin cache, and finally reloading the page in the browser might provide an insight into what is happening.
