🎉 You Found the Secret Page!

eziwiki

This page is hidden from the sidebar navigation, but you can still access it via direct link.

How Did You Get Here?

You probably:

  • Ran npm run show-urls and found this URL
  • Clicked a link from another page
  • Bookmarked this page
  • Someone shared the URL with you

What Makes This Page Special?

This page has hidden: true in its frontmatter:

markdown
---
title: Secret Demo Page
description: This is a hidden page example - you found it!
hidden: true # 👈 This makes it hidden
---

That is the whole mechanism — no configuration file involved. See Hidden Pages for what "hidden" does and does not cover.

Hidden Page Features

✅ Fully Functional

Hidden pages work exactly like regular pages:

  • Full Markdown support
  • Syntax highlighting
  • Images and links
  • Dark mode support
  • All features available

✅ Accessible

Anyone with the URL can access this page:

  • Share the link with others
  • Bookmark for quick access
  • Link from other pages

❌ Not in Sidebar

This page won't appear in the sidebar navigation, keeping it "unlisted" but not private.

Use Cases

Hidden pages are perfect for:

  1. Draft Content - Work on content before publishing
  2. Internal Docs - Team-only documentation
  3. Deprecated Pages - Keep old content accessible
  4. Easter Eggs - Fun surprises for curious users
  5. Testing - Test new layouts or features

Example Code

Here's some code with syntax highlighting:

typescript
interface HiddenPage {
  name: string;
  path: string;
  hidden: true;
}

const secretPage: HiddenPage = {
  name: 'Secret Demo Page',
  path: 'secret-demo',
  hidden: true,
};

console.log('This page is hidden! 🤫');
python
def find_hidden_pages():
    """Find all hidden pages in the wiki."""
    hidden_pages = []

    for page in all_pages:
        if page.hidden:
            hidden_pages.append(page)

    return hidden_pages

print(f"Found {len(find_hidden_pages())} hidden pages!")

Important Notes

Not Private

Hidden pages are unlisted, not private:

  • ✅ Anyone with the URL can access
  • ✅ Included in the static build
  • ✅ Indexed by search engines (by default)
  • ❌ NOT password protected

For truly private content, use authentication or don't include in the build.

Finding This Page

To find all hidden pages:

bash
npm run show-urls

Look for pages marked with 🔒 [HIDDEN].

Try It Yourself

Create your own hidden page:

  1. Create content/my-secret.md:

    markdown
    ---
title: My Secret Page
hidden: true
---

# My Secret Page

This is my hidden page!

  2. Find the URL:

    bash
    npm run show-urls | grep "my-secret"

  3. Share the URL with others!

There is no step for registering the page anywhere — the file is enough.

Pro Tip: You can link to this page from anywhere in your wiki, even though it's hidden from the sidebar!
