# Error
> Error templates used for all `4xx` and `5xx` errors that may arise on a site
***
The most common errors seen in Ghost are `404` errors. Depending on the complexity of your theme, your [routes file](/themes/routing/) and other factors, errors can range from `4xx` to `5xx`. Read more about error [status codes on MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status).
## Routes
Errors can be rendered on any route.
## Templates
The default template for an error is `error.hbs`, this will be used to render any error if there are no specific templates provided.
Error classes, `4xx` and `5xx` can be captured using `error-4xx.hbs` and `error-5xx.hbs` respectively. For example a `404` error can be captured with `error-4xx.hbs`, and a `500` error can be captured with `error-5xx.hbs`.
Specific errors can be captured by naming the template with the status code. For example `404` errors can be captured using `error-404.hbs`.
If no custom error templates have been defined in the theme Ghost will use it’s default error template.
## Data
Error templates have access to the details of the error and the following attributes can be used:
### Error object attributes
* `{{statusCode}}` — The HTTP status code of the error
* `{{message}}` — The error message
* `{{errorDetails}}` — An object containing further error details
* `{{rule}}` — The rule
* `{{ref}}` — A reference
* `{{message}}` — Further information about the issue captured
## Helpers
Error templates shouldn’t use any theme helpers, with the exception of `{{asset}}`, or extend the default template, to further avoid the use of template helpers. Using theme helpers inside error templates can lead to misleading error reports.
The only error template that is permitted to use helpers is the `error-404.hbs` template file.
### Example code
```html theme={"dark"}
{{statusCode}} — {{message}}
