TASK DESCRIPTION
Almost every save related error (in the API) that can happen in wikitext, can also
happen in wikibase. However, the pywikibot interface is immature, and doesnt catch
APIError and repackage them as SaveRelatedErrors. Probably because the traditional
exceptions dont happen as frequently on Wikidata, and the Wikidata community care about
quantity over quality at the moment. Also the repo software isnt as mature as the core
mediawiki, so it may not yet raise errors when it should.
e.g. SpamfilterError happens when a page is on the Spam-blacklist, which has only three
entries.
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist :
\bgroups\.diigo\.com\b
\btefnut\.grainger\.uiuc\.edu/site/wishlist\b
\bcalabasassmiles\.com\b
LockedPage .. also only three items which can cause this problem

EditConflict ... here is where wikibase shines - it typically splices together changes
from multiple users happening at the same time. But I've found the algorithm merges
conflicting changes when it should reject them, so the repo might need to send this
exception more frequently.
