And another problem is: Should `pywikibot.Site('za', 'wiktionary')` actually be https://za.wiktionary.org/wiki/Yiebdaeuz or https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wt/za which is then actually related to your second problem you mention here, because instead of closing “ht.wiktionary.org” it's redirecting (while “za.wiktionary.org” does not).
