 If you try to visit the admin page of a plugin that is currently inactive,
 then currently (WordPress 6.2) the error message given is:

 {{{Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.}}}

 Even though in this case there may not even be such a page defined.
 I got this message when I followed a link to the settings page of a plugin
 that had automatically disabled itself.
 A user misunderstood this message in https://wordpress.org/support/topic
 /after-plugin-disabled-sorry-you-are-not-allowed-to-access-this-page/
 One may reach this message if following an outdated bookmark to a plugin's
 admin page.

 If possible, this particular case "There is currently no such admin page
 defined in this system." would be a better, and more actionable message.
