The problem only seems to occur for sitelinks to special namespaces. To solve this problem: - The problem does not seem to exist for sitelinks to the main namespace? - Why is there only a problem with sitelinks to special namespaces? - Couldn't a "delayed authentication" be implemented for item.get() when sitelinks are effectively referenced? - Or better: couldn't a user account be created automatically at first reference, just as happens when accessing a project explicitly e.g. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Special:UserLogin This way we could avoid most implicit login failures when using Pywikibot on PAWS?
