MGR: Wiki: Spoiler warnings?

Should we have a +wiki subtopic, I wonder?

I'm wondering if there's a good way to mark certain Wiki pages as
containing 'spoilers' that players should not read.

I the interests of 'what should happen if Iwas run over by a bus' (We
don't use beer trucks in Britain!), I'm planning on putting a lot of
my campaign notes, including the background fiction I recieved as part
of the character submissions for PCs (which often includes PC
secrets), as well as a lot of info about what's *really* going on in
Kalyr on the Wiki, notes on various significant NPCs.

Obviously I don't want players reading this stuff, but there's a lot
of world background and cultural stuff that they *should* read. 

Any suggestions?  I suspect the Phoenyx Fantasy wiki is going to run
into the same issues.

It's possible to secure pages so only specific users or groups can read
them.  I don't think the Phoenyx wiki is set up to do that, but we could.
I've done it on my personal wiki for my own game information.

This would be an excellent feature! I often post from work and don't 
have access to game notes. Having them online, but secured, would make 
them accessable anywhere I could get to the web, and if I can't get to 
the web, I can't post email anyway. However, like Tim, there are some 
things that I want to keep from the players, so having a way to password 
protect certain pages, or areas, would be requiredl.
