A 404 Page is a page that is shown when the desired page is nonexistent. The standard 404 message is:
There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, or create this page.
Editing your 404 page

While creating your 404 page be sure to include a explanation that the page doesn't exist and options to search for the page title, create the page, and to search the related logs.
