Details

Right now, if someone uses a template that doesn't exist, you get, say:

Problem loading template for template localize: status 404

Would be nice if it just said "Problem loading template 'localize' because it doesn't exist."

This is really nitpicky though. :)
Better yet, we could make it impossible for people to use templates that don't exist. We could also present them with a helpful error message (like "Template 'localize' doesn't exist. You should either remove all references to it or create it by going to http://example.com") as per usability heuristic 9.
