Status quo

In certain cases a user might have a broken link, where the given UUID is in fact not a valid UUID. Django checks the validity of the parameter and throws a 500 error.

The user is then greeted with the 500 server error message, which is highly confusing, since there is no server error but in fact a client error.

Fix

In this specific case, the user should be informed, that it is highly probable that the used link is invalid for whatever reason. This way we can make sure, that the system is properly running but the user made an error using it.
