landing page for private category

Is it possible to customize the content of the landing page for a private category? Right now ours says this:

Private content

This area of the website is private and you don't have access to it. If you believe you need access to this area please contact the web site administrators.

If you already have an account, please sign in.

I'd like to customize the landing page — describe what's behind the curtain and provide a join module button.

of course. make a page

privatecategory:_public

and write whatever you want on it. This page will be shown to a visitor without acces permission to this category.

Look. This is one of my private category landing pages…

So cool — thanks. The _public option sounds familiar. Have we documented this somewhere?

I am not sure. I know for _public pages from the moment Wikidot made them. And they made them because I asked a solution for an ugly landing page that was the same for all categories… :D :P
