[Haskell-beginners] Bug in solution for problem 19

The penultimate solution for problem 19 of Ninety-Nine Haskell Problems
<https://wiki.haskell.org/H-99:_Ninety-Nine_Haskell_Problems> is giving the
result for the opposite of the given N.
e.g. rotate "abcdefgh" (-3) gives the result for rotate "abcdefgh" 3

Here's the problem https://wiki.haskell.org/99_questions/11_to_20 and the
solution https://wiki.haskell.org/99_questions/Solutions/19

I think it could be solved like this:

rotate xs n
    | n <= 0 = (reverse . take (negate n) . reverse $ xs) ++ (reverse .
drop (negate n) . reverse $ xs)
    | n > 0 = (drop n xs) ++ (take n xs)

I know it's not great, just keeping the spirit of the original solution

Is this the right list for reporting this kind of bugs?
