A 404 Page is a page that is shown when the desired page is nonexistent. The standard 404 message is:
There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, or create this page.
Editing your 404 page[]

While creating your 404 page be sure to include a explanation that the page doesn't exist and options to search for the page title, create the page, and to search the related logs.
