Virtual namespaces do not correspond to pages in the database and are
automatically generated by MediaWiki. It makes little sense,
therefore, to fetch pages from those namespaces and the MW API doesn't
support listing those pages.

According to the documentation, those virtual namespaces are currently
"Special" (-1) and "Media" (-2) but we treat all negative namespaces
as "virtual" as a future-proofing mechanism.

It probably would be best to omit this Reviewed-by: since it was not
provided explicitly. More importantly, I'm neither a user of nor
familiar with MediaWiki or its API, so a Reviewed-by: from me has
little or no value. Probably best would be for someone such as
Matthieu to give his Reviewed-by: if he so desires.

Alright, I was wondering what the process was for those. I didn't want
to leave your contributions by the wayside...

I'll wait a little while longer for more feedback and then resend
without those. unless...

@junio: my github repo has the branch without those Reviewed-by tags,
iirc. so if you can to merge from there, that will keep me from sending
yet another pile of patches for such a trivial change...
