Geertivp added a comment.

  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?
