Mark non-public links

per1234 · per1234 · commit c1bb4f59a443 · 2023-03-14T04:10:31.000-07:00
Some of the content is stored in categories of the forum not publicly visible (either due to only being of interest to
staff, or else previously public categories that are mothballed due to being obsolete).

Contributors without staff privileges, or even those with privileges but not signed in might be confused to click one of
these links and get a 404 if the nature of the target was not communicated.

+## Notes
+
+- The forum contains some areas that are only accessible to staff members (either due to being archived obsolete content or only of use to staff). The content and metadata contains some links to those areas. It is expected that those links will lead to a 404 page if visited when not logged into a forum account with staff privileges. Most of these links are marked "**(private)** in order to prevent confusion.
