ApiSetItem needs to verify that the target site is in the correct group, that is (for now), that the site is a wikipedia. The same goes for ApiSetSiteLink. This was previously done by only listing pages in that group as possible values for the respective parameters, but due to the changes to the Sites interface, we are now again accepting all target sites, including wikibooks, etc.
Note that this will make it difficult/impossible to link to commons.
(In reply to comment #1) > Note that this will make it difficult/impossible to link to commons. Depends on how groups get set up, and which groups we allow for linking. For now, all wikis that have inter-language links pointing to Wikipedia should be in the Wikipedia group, I think - that includes Meta, Commons and Species.
This is already causing trouble, see http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata-l/2012-September/001031.html
