Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
VIVO lacks a helpful and customizable 404 page. It could be a standard VIVO page, but the content should give directions on how to find relevant content in the VIVO, maybe linking to browsing pages, including a search slot etc.

Describe the solution you'd like
A standardized template is created. Bonus points, if it can be customized via SiteAdmin -> page management.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatives would be server side, as far as I know. It would be much better to have something included in VIVO.

Mockup of potential default content for the page. Could link to browsing options or search.

As a little more context, there is technically a 404 returned if you try to navigate to a missing page under the /individual/ or /display/ context, e.g. http://vivo.domain.edu/display/missing-person. It just says "Individual Not Found" but the server code is 404. The template used, for reference, is https://github.com/vivo-project/Vitro/blob/main/webapp/src/main/webapp/templates/freemarker/body/individual/individual-help.ftl.

Trying to reach a page at the top level context, e.g. http://vivo.domain.edu/broken just returns the Tomcat 404, which is definitely not ideal.

Thanks, that's helpful. Would you agree that one 404 page for both scenarios wouls be sufficient, or do we need separate ones for a) missing individuals and b) missing top level sites?

I agree one 404 page is likely sufficient.
