I need a class for "The page pagename you are trying to access does not exist." message.
Because: I can use CSS to make a custom 404 message!
#404-message:after {
content: "Please contact the administrator."

I'd like to be able to do this as well.
More information would be helpful! What "class" was created? How would I use this to create a custom 404 message? And WHY can't wikidot be bothered to communicate with something more than "completed" after implementing a wish such as this?
Woah, calm down!
This is generated when you come across a page that doesn't exist:
It renders this:
The page hjkhj you want to access does not exist.
Would you like further explanation on anything regarding this?
This is a great example for using my Per Category CSS Module and customise inexisting pages on a per-category basis.
James, in the future, please refrain from telling me to calm down, as it is not something that will get someone to calm down, but simply get them irritated. Calm down is something I say to my eight year old son, it is not something you say to a grown man. At least not if you expect that person to be anything other than less calm than he started. I am as respected in my own field as you are in yours, perhaps more so, and one thing I never do to another person is to condescend.
I am a customer and I expect better communication. Not because I am not calm, but because I simply think it is appropriate. I pay for a service, not to be coddled by fellow users. Most users are not tecchies, like yourself, and most of us will be prone to a bit of exasperation when so much knowledge is always assumed. I appreciate your help with this, but if I have something to say to wikidot, as a customer, it is not your business to tell me how to behave and if you would like to help me, you can do so with the same respect I would give you.
All that said, once again, thank you. Actually, what I had in mind was simply an example of the CSS someone might use to change their 404 page, not that his wish has been completed. Knowing the source page that is rendered when a page doesn't exist doesn't really tell me how to write the css.
Eric, I'm not sure what James's post was trying to show but I've been unable to target the #404-message id properly so I suspect there is something not-quite-right with it.
The css for the create it now link can be targeted and you can use #create-it-now-link a, for example:
I won't get involved with the other comments.
