Summary: Wikidata: fail to .setitem()

Initial Comment: I failed to setitem when using Page object to create DataPage. For example

page = pywikibot.Page(site, u"xxx") dataPage = pywikibot.DataPage(page) datapage.setitem(u"xxx", items={xxx})

produces an error, while

dataPage = pywikibot.DataPage(1234) datapage.setitem(u"xxx", items={xxx})

works correctly.

Message: Have a look at the manual: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot/Wikidata

You first has to call dataPage.get() or dataPage.exists() before changing the item. This behaviour is alread know by an other bug tracker.
