As the message says, that only applies if Collection uses JSON
callbacks. Since mwlib is in Python, I highly doubt that. Instead, I
think it doesn't authenticate itself with the API and triesto read
pages as an anonymous user, which is obviously not allowed. If I'm
right, then that's a bug in either mwlib or the Collection extension.
