Description Christian Vuerings 2012-11-03 18:27:55 UTC 
Right now the 404 page on the non-wiki sections isn't very useful and doesn't even link to http://www.webplatform.org/ so people have to change it in the URL bar.

It would be great if it had a "did you mean" functionality

e.g. if you would go to http://www.webplatform.org/json it would ask if you meant http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/apis/JSON

A custom 404 page would be nice.  The problem I see is that trying to do "did you mean" going through the wiki while not using the wiki engine could be difficult.  

Does anyone know of a way to tap into that functionality of the wiki from outside of it?
