I run a website where users can upload pictures, videos, add articles etc.
Some users decide not to write anything, so the 'Articles' tab remains empty with a message 'articles not found'. The tab (a seperate page) returns 200.
What should I do?
Remove the tab link for those profiles with no articles and return 404s for those links?
or changing the error message will do the thing? For example to: this user has not written any articles yet.
