Description
If we go to a page on our website that does not exist, we currently get a pretty standard 404 missing webpage page. It would be helpful to have a page for 404 errors that:
- Tells the user that the URL does not exist
- Links back to our main PlasmaPy website
- Links to our documentation page (maybe)
- Links to our GitHub repository (maybe)
- Asks users to submit an issue if they found a missing link on our website.
The errorpages plugin for Nikola looks potentially useful, though I did not look into that at all.
