When a reader lands on a missing page, this extension serves a custom 404 page with absolute URLs hardcoded, ensuring navigation links work correctly even when the page doesn't exist. The extension integrates directly into Sphinx's build process via a simple configuration entry.\n\nThe package depends only on Sphinx itself and supports Python 3.8 through 3.12. It is marked Production/Stable and has been in use since 2019, though recent maintenance activity has slowed. The extension is particularly useful for documentation hosted on Read the Docs or similar platforms where 404 handling needs to be explicit and reliable.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you maintain Sphinx documentation and need a reliable 404 page. The extension is lightweight, has no security vulnerabilities, and integrates with minimal configuration. The aging maintenance status is not a blocker for a stable, focused tool\u2014but monitor the repository if you rely on it for production documentation."},"id":"sphinx-notfound-page","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sphinx-notfound-page","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sphinx-notfound-page.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sphinx-notfound-page/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-01-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sphinx-notfound-page","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Sphinx extension to build a 404 page with absolute URLs"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":867343,"position":4854,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.0"}
