TASK DESCRIPTION
```
import pywikibot as wp
site = wp.Site("de", "wikipedia")
page = wp.Page(site, "Kitzelbach")
# page.get()
wppage = wp.ItemPage.fromPage(page)
```
Executing this code raises a pywikibot.exceptions.NoPage exception with an
error message of "Page [[wikidata:-1]] doesn't exist." This does not make it
clear at all what the problem is (the article "Kitzelbach" on de.wp is a
redirect).
Uncommenting the call to page.get raises a (much more useful) IsRedirectPage
exception with an actually useful error message ("Page
[[wikipedia:de:Kitzelbach]] is a redirect page." It would be great if this
exception (or at least the error message) wouldn't be hidden or if fromPage
made it possible to supply get_redirect like BasePage.get does.
