Problem:

When running the script commonscat.py, the bot crashes when encountering the above error.
This is annoying as I have to manually restart the bot again.

Notes:

This error is very similar to T122091: fixing_redirects.py / replace_links fails on links such as [[{{2001}}]] but note that T122091 is for the script fixing_redirects.py while this task is for the script commonscat.py
We have already a fix for the problem in rPWBC24abfda9d0df: [bugfix] Ignore InvalidTitle for fixing_redirects

Request:

Please implement the same fix for commonscat.py (i.e. make the bot skip the page in this case instead of crashing). Thank you.

Hi again, @Xqt Could you, please, make commonscat.py run similarly to fixing_redirects.py?
(i.e. the bot should skip the page and not crash when encountering such exception)
I use commonscat.py a lot these days, and as usual, I need to save the time of manually restarting the bot each time it crashes.
This is a fresh output of both scripts:

fixing_redirects.py:

python pwb.py fixing_redirects -site:wikipedia:ary -page:"أحلاف"

Retrieving 1 pages from wikipedia:ary.

>>> أحلاف <<<

commonscat.py:

Retrieving 1 pages from wikipedia:ary.
