Request for update[edit]

I want the message to be a bit more modern. Change this message to:

{{divbox|white|Nothing here!|{{#switch:{{NAMESPACE}} |Category= This category doesn't currently exist. Try [[:Category:Categories|navigating the category tree]] or [{{fullurl:Special:Search|ns14=1&ns15=1&search={{urlencode:{{PAGENAME}}}}&fulltext=Advanced+search}} searching]. |#default= This page doesn't currently exist; you can [[{{ns:special}}:Search/{{PAGENAME}}|search this title]] in other pages or [{{fullurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|action=edit}} edit this page]. }} <hr> If you recently created this page, try [{{fullurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|action=purge}} purging the server cache] or [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=delete&page={{FULLPAGENAMEE}}}} searching the deletion log]. }}

The result:

@Shizhao: To be honest, i disagree with this change. I see no need to add such a box. Imho the box is disturbing. --Steinsplitter (talk) 12:24, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. The old version looked better. --Vogone (talk) 09:19, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Reverted. —MarcoAurelio 13:36, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

edit request 23 September 2019[edit]

Can we add at the bottom of the page:

{{#ifexist:{{FULLPAGENAME}})|
<!-- Missing closing bracket -->
* Did you mean [[{{FULLPAGENAME}})]]?
}}
{{#ifexist:{{FULLPAGENAME}}s|
<!-- Missing "S" for plural noun -->
* Did you mean [[{{FULLPAGENAME}}s]]?
}}

Thanks! Hello, everyone!

Every time I find a new sysop, I place this in /common.css:
.ns--1 a[title="<username of sysop>"] { color: <color, depending on name, or just random>; font-weight: bold; }

Please explain the benefit of what you are looking to do? Personally, I feel that we would be better to delete the existing file, and return to the default message.  — billinghurst sDrewth 03:42, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
