Re: 404 page (was Re: URL aliases for WPD without /wiki)

Hello All, 

It could be fun to feature on the 404 page an explanation of what a 404 error is. 

Perhaps, something organized like this. 

h1. Title. Something like 404: This is not the content you're looking for. Or less. 

h2. By the way, do you know what a 404 error is? 

p. Quick description of a 404 error 

CTA. Want to know more? To the homepage!  

Regards, 

Sébastien
