TASK DESCRIPTION
anarchopedia is v1.14alpha.
MediaWikiVersion considers 1.14alpha is less than v1.14, which means that
APISite.has_extension fails with `NotImplementedError`, and everything fails.
```
$ python pwb.py shell
import pywiWelcome to the Pywikibot interactive shell!
>>> import pywikibot
>>> v1_14 = pywikibot.tools.MediaWikiVersion('1.14')
>>> v1_14alpha = pywikibot.tools.MediaWikiVersion('1.14alpha')
>>> v1_14alpha.version
(1, 14)
>>> v1_14 > v1_14alpha
True
>>> v1_14alpha >= v1_14
False
>>> v1_14alpha.suffix
'alpha'
>>> v1_14.suffix
u''
>>> v1_14alpha._dev_version
(1,)
>>> v1_14._dev_version
(4,)
```
The simple fix to force the version of anarchopedia to be 1.14.
A slightly better solution is to change the version checked to be 1.14alpha
where a feature is known to exist in the alpha.
However the real issue is that Pywikibot uses `x.y` in its version checks,
which is greater than any pre-release version, but typically any feature in
`x.y` is also in all pre-releases.
One solution for this is to treat `x.y` as only two levels of significant
digits, and is considered to be equal to any `x.y*`, while `x.y.0` is the way
to describe three levels of significant digits in a version.
