Short description

Currently we tell for not found of a wikinstance of a farm 

No wiki configuration matching the URL found!

For a non tech user this is difficult to understand because he does not know what a farm of wikis is, He may wonder why the url tells this instead of showing the page creation dialog.

At least he should get a page shown where he can find valid instances. For example:

/!\ Patch doesn't solve problem.

/!\ Also, it isn't clear why this "problem" should be handled at all. If a user visits some invalid url on some web server, he usually just gets "404 Not found" and the usual way to deal with this is to fix the url (find typo, visit some place with links to wanted resource, ask someone, ...).
