Description charitwo 2010-05-23 18:08:38 UTC 
Whether you're clicking on a link, manually browsing to it, or protecting a recently deleted page -- it returns a 404
Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2010-05-23 18:14:50 UTC 
Such request return a 404 status code with an HTML body. Browsers are supposed to display the HTML body regardless of the 404. The fact that Blackberry doesn't handle 404s properly is a bug in Blackberry.
Comment 2 Jesse Viviano 2010-08-05 20:55:22 UTC 
Actually, I found out that if you hit the details button when it renders a 404, the error page is displayed. I therefore think that this is how the BlackBerry tries to save wireless bandwidth when it encounters a 404 because the overriding concern with the BlackBerry OS for a long time is efficiency. Therefore, I think that this bug should be resolved as invalid as this is not a MediaWiki bug.
Comment 3 Andre Klapper 2013-04-05 14:12:07 UTC 
Closing as INVALID as per comment 2 - this is a bug (or feature) in Blackberry's handling.
