@Ricordisamoa has kept a -1 on the [[https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/216535/| pending patch]] for T68120 for a month.
It is a slight extension from that task, but hopefully giving it a new task with a better explanation will break the deadlock, as other patches in Gerrit depend on that patchset.
Here is what the current code does, as is explained in the docstring.
```
$ python
Python 2.7.5 (default, Apr 10 2015, 08:09:05)

>>> import pywikibot
>>> s = pywikibot.Site('wikidata', 'wikidata').data_repository()
>>> i = pywikibot.ItemPage(s, 'Q66')
>>> i.get(True, False, 'foo')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "pywikibot/page.py", line 3730, in get
data = super(ItemPage, self).get(force=force, *args, **kwargs)
TypeError: get() got multiple values for keyword argument 'force'
>>> i.get(force=force, get_redirect=True, 'foo')
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: non-keyword arg after keyword arg
```
The errors are identical in Python 3.
As far as I know, there is no way that `WikibasePage.get` could support passing `args` into `DataSite.loadcontent`.
Is there some incantation where using `args` works and needs to be supported?
