Ability to edit the 404 message to display local contact details
We are linking to our Talis Aspire reading lists from our online module catalogue. Because this is an automatic process and may be updated before we have added a module to the hierarchy, there is the potential for the online module catalogue to provide links to modules that are not included in the hierarchy and thus for users to come across a 404 Page Not Found message. It would be useful at this point to be able to direct users to contact an appropriate member of staff who can look into the situation and add a module as necessary to the hierarchy (and look into whether there is a list associated to the module). We would therefore like to be able to edit the message on the page displayed for a 404 error.

We will not be focusing on this due to low votes. This idea has been declined and moved to the archive.

I'd like for this to be reconsidered again. We've recently had an academic who expected the library to have been notified because of this message and therefore missed an important deadline through no fault of their own.

I would like to raise this issue again with the Talis development team. The 404 error message is not a good advert for the service. It would be useful if we could direct our users to the Talis home page
