Comment (by Karen Tracey):
I do believe it is confusing for general users for the admin to be
offering links to pages which then 404. It was accepted 10 years ago and
seemed reasonable to me. Not all admin users are sophisticated users who
immediately jump from 404 to "oh that thing must be gone", rather they get
the impression from the "broken links" that the admin is broken/unreliable
somehow. I likely would have first gone for the "just don't make it a link
in recent actions" approach but given that had been rejected already I
tried an alternative way. Running DEBUG mode the reason for the 404 is
clear since the Http404 messages are visible then to the user, but those
are not visible when DEBUG is off, so I though making them a message the
user would see would be a small improvement. I'm not particularly willing
to tackle improving the 404 page of admin in general.
