[AG] [Bug] Display meaningful error message when Commons/Wikipedia page does not exist
Closed, ResolvedPublic2 Estimated Story Points

Description

When URL of not existing Wikipedia/Commons page is inserted, tool display error message "error.page-missing".
Some real error message would be nice.

This is also the case for pages like https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Christoph_Fischer_%28WMDE%29 which does not exist in Commons but when this URL is opened in the browser, Commons show user page from Meta. Possibility to handle such user pages could be also investigated.

It seems that it is not possible to tell using API that some other user page should be loaded instead of the one in the local wiki.
