List of special interfaces

Tiki has various interfaces which override the standard interface (Bootstrap-based themes). As of 2024-02-21, there are various UIs because they were done by different people at different times. Next steps:

1. Make a list of all interfaces
2. Compare UIs
3. Determine which ones (some or all) should be unified
4. Determine if and how they should be themable
5. Make it happen

Page not found

At Tiki sites, for invalid URLs ending in .php (or .html, etc.), instead of a normal 404 error, this is displayed: "No route found. Please see http://dev.tiki.org/URL+Rewriting+Revamp". (Related bug reports: https://dev.tiki.org/item7039-Admin-page-not-found-error-is-too-geeky and https://dev.tiki.org/item5565-With-URL-rewriting-enabled-attempt-to-access-invalid-URL-yields-strange-techie-error-message-rather-than-usual-page-not-found.)

Also, an issue with page not found is a very broken page being returned. See https://dev.tiki.org/item3537--htaccess-issue#contenttabs_view_tracker_item-1

403, 404, 500, 503 Errors

The server errors right now are not handled by Tiki, and hence have the default view of the server default, or sometimes on shared hosting the somewhat prettier messages they provide. It is a simple matter to take control over these, but of course, we need somewhere pretty to send users.

index.php & must be included errors

These currently unhelpful errors should probably be redirected to a 403 page.
