Normally, SMW does never display duplicate values. If you look at the generated
database query (format=debug) you can see that it uses "SELECT DISTINCT" and
that the fields that it selects are only those that determine the result page.
So no page should occur twice unless (1) MySQL returns the same results twice
in spite of "DISTINCT," or (2) the database contains multiple instances of that
page with different values (as MySQL sees them) but these values still are
translated into the same page link when displayed.
I did some tests on your site and I think I can exclude (2) since it would also
show on other queries. In particular, the problem on your site only occurs when
sorting is used. Yet, (1) is also fairly improbable, since this would be a
major MySQL bug. So we do not have any likely explanation.
I have been trying to reproduce the problem on other wikis but without success.
On your site, the problem only occurs when sorting by the property "Datum
(Geschichte)." The duplicated page has two values for this property, where one
is inherited by a subproperty "Ende (Geschichte)." This modelling seems to be
the main problem, yet I cannot reproduce the problem when reproducing such a
situation elsewhere. I am not sure if you are aware of the ramifications of
your the way that dates are modelled in your wiki -- in general, I would not
consider it very good practice to order query results by a property that is
likely to have more than one value for a page, so maybe you want to change this
anyway.
There are two possible ways forward: (a) you change the way that super
properties are used for sorting in your wiki, maybe by using some other
property for sorting, or (b) you manage to reproduce the problem on
sandbox.sematnic-mediawiki.org where I have a chance to inspect it more closely
for finding a fix. For now, I have to close this as worksforme.
