WikiMatrix / Wiki page not exists, does 404 make sense?

Hi, I just wondered - if requested page is not found, do you return 404 (together with e.g. page editing this nonexistent page) 404 error code?

Does exist any reason to do this? Maybe it's useful for search engines or things like that, but I wanted to ask before implementing it ...

Thanks for help.

DokuWiki doesn't return a 404 by default but this can enabled by a config option. The problem with sending a 404 is that you still want the browser to display your content (eg. the edit form). But some browsers will display their own error page instead, eg. Opera on the Wii does that.

Well, thanks a lot for reply ... I thought that there's some catch.
