"Creatity page not found" when retrieving page for "Creativity"

[hobson]

python 3.7.9

>>> import wikipedia
>>> wikipedia.__version__
1.4.0

Some pages can't be found, even if you use the exact title currently on Wikipedia for a popular page or use the .suggested article title:

>>> wikipedia.summary('Creativity')
PageError: Page id "creatity" does not match any pages. Try another id!
>>> wikipedia.page('Creativity')
PageError: Page id "creatity" does not match any pages. Try another id!
>>> wikipedia.suggest('Creativity')
'creatity'
>>> wikipedia.search('Creativity')
['Creativity',
 'Creativity (religion)',
 'Creativity and mental health',
...
PageError: Page id "creatity" does not match any pages. Try another id!
>>> wikipedia.page('creativity')
PageError: Page id "creatity" does not match any pages. Try another id!

Lowercasing, etc. doesn't help, but adding the "(religion)" qualifier does, unless you're not looking for the religion page. Installing with conda or pip gives the same behavior.

For "Creativity" the suggestion is "creatity" (but not sure why)

The error seems to stem from here.

Someone should just make a PR that changes that priority.

Its right here: https://github.com/goldsmith/Wikipedia/blob/1554943e8ab463cef5e93081def48fafbdef324e/wikipedia/wikipedia.py#L272

    if auto_suggest:
      results, suggestion = search(title, results=1, suggestion=True)
      try:
        title = suggestion or results[0]
      except IndexError:
        # if there is no suggestion or search results, the page doesn't exist
        raise PageError(title)

@hobson @theptrk setting the parameter auto_suggest to False as mentioned in the comment https://github.com/goldsmith/Wikipedia/issues/192#issuecomment-579850850 seems to make the function use the input string directly instead of using a suggestion from the string
