The error returned by an API call against a special page doesn't mean the page
doesn't exist but you can't create a WikiPage object from some namespaces (in
default install, media and special).

If you read the
http://en.wikinews.org/w/api.php?action=parse&format=xml&prop=sections&page=Special:doesnotexist
error text, you'll see:

<error code="internal_api_error_MWException" info="Exception Caught: Invalid or
virtual namespace -1 given." xml:space="preserve"/>

This is an exception thrown by WikiPage::Factory method.

Note the same error will be thrown by API calls requesting sections from
*existing* special pages:
