Steps to replicate the issue:
The nl site is outside the vikidia.org domain and can be found at wikikids.nl.
>>> import pywikibot
>>> s = pywikibot.Site('vikidia:nl')What happens?:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
s = pywikibot.Site('vikidia:nl')
File "D:\pwb\GIT\core\pywikibot\__init__.py", line 265, in Site
_sites[key] = interface(code=code, fam=fam, user=user)
File "D:\pwb\GIT\core\pywikibot\site\_apisite.py", line 118, in __init__
super().__init__(code, fam, user)
File "D:\pwb\GIT\core\pywikibot\site\_basesite.py", line 90, in __init__
raise UnknownSiteError(error_msg)
pywikibot.exceptions.UnknownSiteError: Language 'nl' does not exist in family vikidiaWhat should have happened instead?:
The site object should be instantiated and work as usual:
>>> import pywikibot
>>> s = pywikibot.Site('vikidia:nl')
>>> s.mediawiki_message('ok')
OK
