Is it possible to make wiki tags that is restricted to the DM/GM?

Just as the title heavily implies, I'm wondering if there is any way for some of my tags only be visible by me(the DM), as i would really like to keep track of lets say a faction, but i cant tag hidden members because the players will see that they belong to that specific faction.

Anyone got any tips?

    I think this can be done right now as it is.

    For example: I've written a page called "Zannad", and since the players don't know what that is yet, I keep as "Entire Page GM Only" (and in the "GM Only" section, so it doesn't show even show up in the pages they can see. I've also tagged it "Zannad", -and the tag DOES appear in the sidebar, but when they try to access it they can't. Try clicking on it if you want: "Wiki":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/14925/wikis/main-page (it's the last tag).-

    Having said that, you can tag a place or a hidden NPC, and it won't show up in the tag description for the players. -The tag itself *will* be shown, but when a player clicks on it it won't show them the pages or characters that are GM Only.-

    *_Edited:_* I checked what I wrote with my other account (I have an extra account as a player for my own campaign, not as a DM) because I wasn't sure about the tag appearing or not. The fact is: the tag doesn't even appear when I checked with my player account (so don't even bother trying to click on it, it shouldn't even appear). It's the same for NCPs, I clicked on a tag that can already be accessed by players, and it only showed me the NPCs I allowed, but not the hidden ones with the same tag.

    My problem is pretty straight forward. I have a faction in my campaign that is called "the rebel faction" and I want to tag a character they know as a member, but I do not want them to know about him being a member ...yet, and therefore i can't tag him as a member either.

    As far as I know, it isn't possible to tag a visible page with an invisible tag. As Sandman says, the tags from a GM only page won't show up in the list available to players.

    All that I can recommend would be trying to come up with an innocuous tag, or perhaps one that is a "typo", that could be code for you. Sadly, I think that could be more trouble than it's worth. Otherwise, I would try setting up a rebel page with links for yourself, GM only, if that's feasible with the number of rebels that you have.

    I would second making a GM Only visible page, and just listing all the members of the faction as links on that page.
