If no view is found for a specific view name, the error message contains
the somewhat cryptic clue "0 pattern(s) tried: []". If you're not aware
what this means, this can easily throw you off the right track to fixing
this issue. Over the years I've seen a decent number of SO questions about
NoReverseMatch errors that seem to miss this fact.
I think we should clarify the error message when no view is found so it is
clear the error is in the view name, not in the arguments.
