Here are some common errors that you can come across and what to do about them

500-(Internal Server Error): This is probably a temporary error. Comments will only be required if it's been days and the same error recurs

404-(Page Not Found Error): One of the most common errors you will find, it's probably indicative that the page is gone forever/moved. Try finding the page on the parent website. If you can't just use the WayBack machine
