Description

It's pretty unclear that proofreadpage_specialpage_searcherrortext is an error, and is easy to miss. It should be red, or in a box or something else to make it clearer :)

Is this not more of a general issue with OutputPage::showErrorPage? Other error messages, like the one you get visiting a non-existent special page (example) also do not use special formatting.
