Special:LintTemplateErrors with no category selected should display an index
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

If you visit https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmcloud.org/wiki/Special:LintTemplateErrors you'll see:

No title and just an error message.

Instead it would be better if it was like Special:LintErrors and displayed an index.

Alternatively, maybe we just have one primary index/entrypoint at Special:LintErrors that also includes links to Special:LintTemplateErrors/$category and then have plain Special:LintTemplateErrors redirect to Special:LintErrors.
