In order to use the ``Http404`` exception to its fullest, you should create a
template that is displayed when a 404 error is raised. This template should be
called ``404.html`` and located in the top level of your template tree.
In order to show customized HTML when Django returns a 404, you can create an
HTML template named ``404.html`` and place it in the top level of your
template tree. This template will then be served when :setting:`DEBUG` is set
to ``False``.
If you provide a message when raising an ``Http404`` exception, it will appear
in the standard 404 template displayed when :setting:`DEBUG` is ``True``. Use
these messages for debugging purposes; they generally aren't suitable for use
in a production 404 template.
