CHANGES TO TASK DESCRIPTION
Steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure there is nothing to commit
2. Edit user-config.py
1. Set `mylang` to `test`
2. Set `family` to `wikidata`
3. Run `python -m unittest tests.api_tests.TestCachedRequest`
4. Get git status:

```
$ git status
On branch master
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

tests/cassettes/wikidata.test/TestCachedRequest.test_normal_use.yaml

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
```

Running a dry test has added a new undesired file. It's annoying to have these files created every time the developer runs the tests. It could be committed accidentally if they use `git add -A`. Note that `.yaml` files may contain private information which leads to security/privacy risks for the developer.

Running VCR tests should not have the side effect of creating new cassettes (except when we developer is adding new tests of-course).

Maybe we should not have VCR tests configured for `DefaultSiteTestCase`?
