Description

User Story

As a Wikipedia reader interested in playing today's game, I want to know when the game is not available due to lack of community content, so I don't experience a broken game.

Requirements:

Phase 2 error handling:

If there are not sufficient events for the day to generate the game, update the splash screen to remove the "Play" option, modified copy, and only display a CTA to the Archive
The Games Hub card should display modified copy with CTA to archive if Today's game is not available
If a previous day's game is not available, show the copy "Not available today".
Explore Feed card should display modified copy (with CTA to archive if built)
Modified copy: Unfortunately, the game is not available today due to a lack of content. Come back tomorrow, or play the archive!
Clicking onto the card displays the "not available" version of the Splash screen
If a user clicks on a date from the archive that is not available, display the "not available" version of the Splash screen

Hi @HNordeenWMF, I don't see the link to the splash screen "Not available" state, can you fix the link? Thanks!

It's working for me! Check out the sub-text.
