Feature Request: Visible "GM-Only" Adventure Posts
I'm in the habit of writing my adventure posts in "multiple phases", and as I don't want my players to see the "in progress" form, I check "GM-Only" while I'm redacting. The problem is, I sometimes forget to remove it afterwards, and that leads to my players missing those posts, until I eventually find out.
So for my feature request: Pages that look different when they're GM-Only.
*What does it do?*
It's very simple: there is a way for me as a GM of a campaign to notice that a page or an Adventure post is currently "GM-Only".
*What does it look like?*
Doesn't matter much, as long as it's clearly visible. It can be a slightly different background color, a little icon "GM-Only!" right next to the page/log title, or anything else for that matter. As long as I can notice that this specific text is not visible to my players, and then act accordingly if it should be.

I also use a composition page, a gm-only wiki page titled "In Progress," to draft stuff like adventure logs, items, or wiki pages before pasting them into the final page.

Just trying to help out.
I haven't gotten far enough in the creation of my wiki to be able to work 'ahead' and create pages not to be revealed until the PCs pass some milestone or reveal some secret knowledge. I have to start doing that, I think. Great idea!

I can tell immediately if I'm on a page that is visible to the players by the background, and as I said, I just change the background image url when it's time for the page to go 'live.'
