We had a talk on the french-language Wikipedia a few
months ago about the
404 error page displayed to the user when he types an URL like
http://fr.wikipedia.org/Anything, instead of typing
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anything. The following problems were
mentioned:
- auto-redirect is bad for accessibility
- and localization should be possible
It seems to be MediaWiki-independent. The error page on Wikimedia projects
is
http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/404Handler.phtml.
Could it be possible to edit this page on our Wikipedia? Thanks.
It needs to be updated in general...
Here's a proposal for a prettified page:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17316
With a separate general note that we need a way to localize the message
text:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12302
Since this isn't a squid-level error page we probably don't have to play
the tricks with inline CSS/JS/stuff to do the localization, but I'm not
sure what's the most desireable thing as far as localizing the template.
