While trying to use test.wikidata.org to play with pywikibot-Wikidata in PAWS we get an error EntityTypeUnknownException: DataSite("test", "wikidata") does not support entity type "item"

new_item = pywikibot.ItemPage(site)
new_item.editLabels(labels=label_dict, summary="Setting labels")
# Add description here or in another function
return new_item.getID()
some_labels = {"en": "Hamburg Main Station", "de": "Hamburg Hauptbahnhof"}
new_item_id = create_item(site, some_labels)
