Make a wrapfigure not overflow a page

Question

I have a wrapfigure, and as shown on the image below, the image and the caption go outside of the page and overlap the space where the page number is. Is there a way to fix it?

Minimal reproducible example (with lipsum text and blank image)

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,russian,ukrainian]{babel}
\usepackage[a4paper,top=1.3cm,bottom=2cm,left=1.5cm,right=1.5cm,marginparwidth=0.75cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[OT1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{graphicx, wrapfig, float}
\usepackage{subfigure}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\graphicspath{ {./images/} }
\begin{document}
\lipsum[150]\lipsum[150]\lipsum[150]\lipsum[150]\lipsum[150]\lipsum[150]\lipsum[150]\lipsum[150]
\subsection{subsection}
\begin{wrapfigure}{l}{0pt}
    \centering
    \rule{8cm}{8cm} 
    \caption{image}
\end{wrapfigure}
\lipsum[150]
\end{document}

Welcome to TSE. Please post a Minimal Working Example, instead of a code snippet. — José Carlos Santos, Feb 01 '23 at 20:25
hard to say as you provided no example but \begin{wrapfigure}{L}{0pt} with L not l allows the figure to move at a page break. Or simply move it in the source — David Carlisle, Feb 01 '23 at 20:25
thanks for the example, L works here (image goes to next page) — David Carlisle, Feb 01 '23 at 20:40
@DavidCarlisle thanks, although, is it somehow possible to resize the image to fit the remaining space? — dacoconutchemist, Feb 01 '23 at 20:41
not automatically (would you want it to shrink to just one line high with no warning?) You can of course use height=... on \includegraphics to fix any partcular case, — David Carlisle, Feb 01 '23 at 20:44

It is usually best to move wrapfig by hand in the source so it ends up in a "good" position, however it does support moving at a page break to avoid this problem if you use uppercase position. So {L} here not {l}. The image goes to the next page in this example.

Alternatively you can adjust the size and position here just by eye, stealing as much space above and below as possible.

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,russian,ukrainian]{babel}
\usepackage[a4paper,top=1.3cm,bottom=2cm,left=1.5cm,right=1.5cm,marginparwidth=0.75cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[OT1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{graphicx, wrapfig, float}
\usepackage{subfigure}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\graphicspath{ {./images/} }
\begin{document}
\lipsum[150]\lipsum[150]\lipsum[150]\lipsum[150]\lipsum[150]\lipsum[150]\lipsum[150]\lipsum[150]
\subsection{subsection}
\begin{wrapfigure}{l}{0pt}
    \centering
    \raisebox{-1.2cm}[3cm]{\rule{8cm}{5cm}}
    \caption{image}
\end{wrapfigure}
\lipsum[150]
\end{document}
