[pmwiki-users] 404 Not Found

[H. Fox]

[...continued]

So now what's left is to determine what to present to *authors* when
they arrive at a 404 page...

That seems to depend on whether Link is qualified or not.  Again, by
qualified I mean whether a GroupName is requested or not
(?n=SomeGroup.MissingPage vs. ?n=Something).

For qualified links there should be an easy way to create the page if
that's what the author would like to do, and not much more than that. 
Something like this would be great:

   MissingPage doesn't exist.  [Create it]

[Hasty example wording disclaimer applies...]

Where "Create it" is in a button.  Clicking the button invokes
?action=edit for the page.

The sticky situation is what to do when the missing page isn't
qualified (an incomplete name).  If the incomplete name match a
group's home page the author is take there.  When the incomplete name
doesn't match any group' s home page it means one of two things.

1) The group exists, but has no home page.
2) The group doesn't exist.

This is where it's a bit harder to predict intentions.
