Why not give the user the real reasons:
This content element references a file that either does not exist or 
TYPO3 may not read.
Contact your system administrator for further advice or refer to TYPO3 
error code #34629

The latter part is optional but I think it would be quite easy to set up 
something like a wiki with a plain searchbox.
You enter the error code and get "wiki-like" advice what to do.
I hate nothing more than setting up windows servers which then fu**s up 
and tell me to contact my administrator (me as well).

Watcha think?

cheers
