Auto suggestion is turned on by default for summary. This is mind-boggling terrible and the fact that it ever works is frankly miraculous. Turn it off:

wikipedia.summary("Ubuntu", auto_suggest=False)

Thanks!

@wlerin auto_suggest is not working in specific cases. It worked for your example by try the word "Sabrina" in case of Ubuntu, where it fails.

@KairaNithin That looks like it's working as intended? That query is too vague so of course it throws a DisambiguationError, but at least it didn't get transformed into something completely different like with Ubuntu turning into bantu, even though there's an Ubuntu page.

I believe the issue is in line 274: title = suggestion or results[0]
If there is any result, it should take it. This line will prioritize the suggestions.
This happens with 'blockchain' for instance, it will never find it.
