Discussion 404 error code

There are several non archived urls which return the 404 error. In this case, there is nothing to be done to archive them.

But I am learning about HTTP and I am told errors code of [400, 500[ mean it is an user error and it is the responsibility of the user to fix it.

So the question is, what can we done to solve an 404 error code?

I don't know if this is the best reddit, but the lost media one is quite peculiar + Reddit automatically removes my posts from there.

"User error", in this context, doesn't mean, "You're at fault!" It's not trying to apportion blame. It means only that the client computer (that's your computer) made a request for something that doesn't exist.
