Also to support my version, the same article says a bit later:

" Usually, in number theory, we always choose the positive remainder".

While programming languages seems to make rather different choices:

"C99 and Pascal choose the remainder with the same sign as the dividend a.
(Before C99, the C language allowed either choice.) Perl and Python choose
the remainder with the same sign as the divisor d."

Rejoice !
