TASK DESCRIPTION
**Steps to replicate the issue** (include links if applicable):
- Try to instantiate a Site object via pywikibot.APISite.fromDBName for
dbname "roa_rupwiki":
import pywikibot
site = pywikibot.APISite.fromDBName('roa_rupwiki')
**What happens?**:
- An "UnknownSiteError" exception is raised. Full message:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
UnknownSiteError Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[8], line 3

----> 3 site = pywikibot.APISite.fromDBName('roa_rupwiki')

93 self.use_hard_category_redirects = (
94 self.code in self.family.use_hard_category_redirects)
UnknownSiteError: Language 'rup' does not exist in family wikipedia
**What should have happened instead?**:
- The Site object should have been instantiated
**Software version** (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
- Problem started showing up in fairly recent (22-27 August 2023) versions of
pywikibot on PAWS and Toolforge (shared pywikibot); it did work before, though
**Other information** (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
