What are MDUI elements?
MDUI elements are User Interface Elements in metadata that are used by downstream applications to construct rich, dynamic user interfaces (UIs). Specifically, UI elements in IdP metadata are used for the discovery and error pages at the service provider, while UI elements in SP metadata are used for the login, consent, and error pages at the identity provider. The goal is to unify the various user interfaces associated with cross-domain single sign-on, thereby enhancing the overall user experience.

If your service provider is listed in InCommon metadata, then there's an entity page for it (if not, that's a bug).

See the User Interface Elements page in this wiki for details.
