Notes
This mod might be helpful to keep visitors on your site if you use the Resequencing_IDs feature in TNG 7.0.0 and above.
If using multiple languages, please add the custom text for your other languages

Purpose of Mod

This mod changes the thispagedoesnotexist.html for the getperson.php to a more friendly 404 page that might keep the user on your site by providing a link to the person search page.

You may want to consider using this mod if you use the Resequencing_IDs feature in TNG 7.0 to re-sequence People.

See the TNG Forum for the [TNG Forum https://tng.community/index.php?/forums/index.php?showtopic=2186 TNG 6.2 mod] version.

The 404_Error_Mod is an alternative to using this mod in that it provides a 404 error page for any TNG page and not just the getperson.php.
