Hi! I implemented this feature in my fork, but GitHub says this repository only allows collaborators to open pull requests.

Branch: https://github.com/liwenjie200543/the-website/tree/issue-534-protected-pages-redirect-login

The change redirects unauthenticated users from protected pages to /login?error=401, redirects authenticated but unauthorized users to /404, and adds tests for those cases.

Could a maintainer either grant me permission to open the PR or help open it from this branch? Thank you!

Thank you! I’m based in China, so I’m not able to complete the PV volunteer application because the form requires U.S. residency/citizenship and a U.S. phone number.

I’m still happy to contribute through GitHub and respond to any review feedback on this PR. Please let me know if there’s any other contributor process I should follow.
