I agree that communication and usability of such pages, wizards, etc. must be much clearer and tested in public. Remember, we are here to build the best system for our grandmas.

Ok, so here it is a sample of i was talking about. I's quite simple.

My intencion, was to have a rpm that installed this, changing the default ones, that apache brings.
Making this optional.
IMHO, that example is worse than the default error page. Most people do
not know what "Error 404" means.
Hypothetically, a simple improvement to the default 404 message could be s/URL/(document|file), followed by an explanatory statement like, "You may have typed the wrong web address."
Also, looking at /var/www/error/HTTP_NOT_FOUND.html.var, there are a number of translations that should be taken into account, further complicating things.
Just as fedora artwork is designed with consistency in mind, it is up to an individual website to design error pages consistent with the rest of their website. The default error pages are clean and functional.
