print list(pywikibot.Page(pywikibot.getSite("af"), "Maan").iterlanglinks())
raises NoSuchSite exception
I actually encountered this problem when I ran featured.py. It seems that there is an attempt (gerrit: 112322) to fix this problem, but the problem still persists.

Oh! I forgot to mention that the above code fails because iterlanglinks() will call pywikibot.Link.langlinkUnsafe.
There are two places calling pywikibot.Link.langlinkUnsafe: in iterlanglinks() and in update_page() from api.py. I don't which way is better between putting try-except block inside pywikibot.Link.langlinkUnsafe directly, and putting try-except block in caller functions over pywikibot.Link.langlinkUnsafe.
