TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
So, if a link in the UI of a web app points to a wiki page that doesn’t
exist, is it permissible for the wikimaster to make the wiki’s 404 page
redirect to the page the UI should have pointed to in the first place?
Or is it better to just submit a bug report and hope for the best?
What are the civil/criminal penalties for abusing a 404 page in this manner?
Speaking hypothetically, of course.
