Testing Error Messages Without Exposing Internal Details

Published: 2026-07-30 · Experiments

This experiment separates administrator diagnostics from public error handling. Logged-in administrators need enough information to identify broken paths, while visitors should receive a useful destination without database, filesystem, or routing details.

The test includes missing child articles, invalid section paths, and direct requests for pages that do not exist.
