Description

We have several special pages checking if the user is not logged in and then craft their own error page.

A recent change in an extension adds yet another implementation:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/11169/

We would need a generic exception to be thrown whenever the user is anonymous. So we could just:

if ( $this->getUser()->isAnon() ) {
throw new NeedLogguedInError( );
}

With a nice default message such as: "Sorry the action or page you requested is restricted to logged in users".
